Hi, List, I'm working to run Debian ppc64 ports on my xbox360 box, but failed to setup a chrooted environment with "Illegal instruction" error. After some dig on this problem, I found this is caused by PowerPC vector instrunctions, and according to the build log[1], the package do compile with " -maltivec -mabi=altivec ". So I want know, why we use "-maltivec" in PPC64 ports, is it faster then altivec disabled? After all, many old Power4/5, and qemu ppc64 simulator don't support altivec. According Debian ppc64 wiki page[2], xenon, the cpu used by xbox360, supports altivec, but altivec don't work in my box, I think it is another bug or misconfigure. I'm not a subscriber of this list, please CC me.
