+1 for trimming ppc multilibs.
I'm working on ppc440 support - it looks like setting mcpu=powerpc
(inside make/custom/my_bsp.cfg) might prevent the use of a whole bunch
of extended mnemonics: those that use mtspr/mfspr for example. It'd be
cool to keep these for readability in dlentry.S (or equiv).
Thoughts?
