So I think the problem is that the driver has some PPC only bugs, and not enough people to work on them...

Re: [OT] Disabling hardware speculation support in GCC flags
You're right, I guess we can't disable the hardware directly but if we let gcc know about this then it is possible that it will do further optimizations correct? What sort of run time issues can addressed on an runtime usage. For example, I can compile a C program using regular gcc without any options and then adding the following and comparing the differences: -mcpu=7400 -O2 -pipe -maltivec -mabi=altivec These are stricly static rules. This way the compiler knows about the hardware and tries to optimize the program based on that. How will you make an runtime sequence be made correclty to an compiler What do you think? reminds me of hennesey and patternson chapter 03.
