    Remove support for PowerPC SPE extension (powerpc*-*-*gnuspe*). · a053e878
    Zack Weinberg authored
    GCC 9 dropped support for the SPE extensions to PowerPC, which means
    powerpc*-*-*gnuspe* configurations are no longer buildable with that
    compiler.  This ISA extension was peculiar to the “e500” line of
    embedded PowerPC chips, which, as far as I can tell, are no longer
    being manufactured, so I think we should follow suit.
    
    This patch was developed by grepping for “e500”, “__SPE__”, and
    “__NO_FPRS__”, and may not eliminate every vestige of SPE support.
    Most uses of __NO_FPRS__ are left alone, as they are relevant to
    normal embedded PowerPC with soft-float.
