This patch adds the stub support to allow users to use -mcpu=power9, so that in the future it will generate code for the Power9 systems (ISA 3.0). At this time, the stub only sets up the switches. Future patches to GCC 6.x and later GCC 7.x will add support for various features in power9. I have bootstrapped this on a big endian power7 system and a little endian power8 system with no regressions. Is this patch ok to install in the trunk? I would also like to back port this initial support into GCC 5.x. Is that ok as well? 2015-11-03 Michael Meissner * config/rs6000/rs6000.opt (-mfusion-toc): Add new switches for ISA 3.0 (power9).
