commit 8130708fe5419b8bb17cfeb646678ac431ec797d
Author: Ryan S. Arnold <rsa@us.ibm.com>
Date:   Wed Feb 16 13:04:16 2011 -0600

    Prevent VSX type TOC ref in _dl_start before relocs are resolved.
    
    Disable VSX instruction usage in rtld.c with -mno-vsx so that, under
    -O3 optimization, a TOC reference isn't used for a zero constant in a
    VSX register prior to resolution of relocations.
