I suppose I should have given details. The problem is that gcc now
needs to pass -m403 (or -m405) to gas for these particular targets to
enable 403 specific insns. Previously, gcc used to pass -mppc and
gas accepted 403 instructions under the general umbrella of -mppc.
I don't think this change has anything to do with powerpc-linux failures.
If it turns out to be a binutils problem, I'm more likely to be the
guilty party with my 2001-09-29 bfd change, which wasn't fixed until
2001-10-15.
