Basically how to define a subarch -if it's not already defined. I need
to override ppc32-altivec, i don't know if that's already defined, if
it is, it would be just a case of just including my functions in the
right tree, if not, i would have to find out where to define it and
then override the functions.
The url at least was useful, thanks, at least it showed me that if the
subarch is defined i could just include the functions and test the
whole thing :D
