It cannot run ppc64el, that one includes VSX in the ABI by default,
which 6500 lacks. Also, its altivec part )saw it as Altivec 2
somewhere) by FSL (with extra instructions), is also different than
plain altivec supported by other IBM cpus. So, code tuned for 6500's
altivec unit won't even run on big-endian IBM cpus. Good job,
Freescale.
