Thanks.

OK. Idea: 

-Put patch in devel/gcc and patch in the base system that either 

makes altivec do nothing (NOT a good idea)
makes mcpu not imply maltivec ( a better idea, as it can just be undone
when the kernel gets altivec instruction support )


good idea y/y?


(also, so it seems the fix is just explicitly supply -mno-altivec in the
commandline)
