> Does _ARCH_PWR8 impact anything during the compiling?

I can answer this question from an user point of view. It's used in many
projects to indicate if the target processor supports certain features, e.g.

#ifdef _ARCH_PWR8
asm (...); /* Power8-specific code. */
#else
/* Generic implementation. */
...
#endif
