It sets a bad precedent that the target vector order can be changed to suit poorly written code. Next thing you'll be wanting x86_64_elf64_fbsd_vec to sort before x86_64_elf64_vec, or someone else will want something similar for other targets, and we'll have breakage if the vector order is changed. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
