Bug#304089: [PPC] Enable -mvrsave=yes by default



Package: gcc-3.4
Version: 3.4.3-12
Severity: grave

Apparently latest packages of gcc-3.4 have disabled -mvrsave=yes for
powerpc. This breaks existing software which uses Altivec and it's also
wrong. Even worse, it's not documented in the changelog (Debian or
normal). The code that is produced is unstable. Please enable it by
default.

Thanks

Konstantinos
