PowerPC Altivec version of setjmp/longjmp

Subject: PowerPC Altivec version of setjmp/longjmp

The code in powerpc/setjmp.S contains conditionally assembled code which saves/restores the Altivec registers. This breaks on operating systems like RTEMS which do not normally enable the Altivec unit. The RTEMS maintainers asked me to submit this patch which was originally provided by Till Straumann <strauman@slac.stanford.edu> The patch is quite small so I've just attached it to this message.

Attachment: newlibAltivecSetjmp.patch
Description: Binary data
