Well, openembedded people might changed them.

tc-ppc.c I suppose you meant. It supports, as far as I can judge:
=========
else if (strcmp (arg, "altivec") == 0)
{
if (ppc_cpu == 0)
ppc_cpu = PPC_OPCODE_PPC | PPC_OPCODE_CLASSIC |
PPC_OPCODE_ALTIVEC;
else
ppc_cpu |= PPC_OPCODE_ALTIVEC;
}
====
How ./configure checks whether it supports?
