    Currently, ppc32 will not always compile with binutils-2.15. The issue
    is that binutils has become even more strict about which opcodes can be
    used with which CPU flags. The problem is that we have a number of
    cases where we compile with altivec instructions (with runtime checks to
    make sure we can actually run them) in code that's not altivec specific.
    The fix for this is to always pass in -maltivec on CONFIG_6xx. To do
    this cleanly, we split our AFLAGS definition up into
    aflags-$(CONFIG_FOO).
