Comment(by mcalhoun@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 vinc17@…]:
 > So, basically -force_cpusubtype_ALL tells the assembler not to report
 any error if a non-generic instruction (optional instruction,
 extension...) is used. This means that the programmer needs to make sure
 that such instructions are (dynamically) executed only when they exist. By
 adding -force_cpusubtype_ALL, you hide a potential error made by upstream.
 I take your point, but GMP claims that its test suite is quite
 comprehensive, so this would be a mechanism to find errors made
 upstream.[[BR]]
 As far as I know, nobody has found any.

 I do not claim to be an expert on the PowerPC architecture, but
 -force_cpusubtype_ALL can't be that bad if it is the default for x86 and
 x86_64.

 In any event, this ticket concerns more the fact that
 -force_cpusubtype_ALL is not being set correctly.
