Re: [PATCH 3/4] powerpc/booke64: Use appropriate -mcpu

[Rojhalat Ibrahim <imr@rtschenk.de>]

Just out of curiosity: What's the difference (if any) between -mcpu=e500mc64 
and -mcpu=e5500? AFAIK -mcpu=e500mc64 is supported by gcc since at least 
version 4.6 whereas -mcpu=e5500 is only supported since gcc 4.8. But is there 
actually any difference?
