Hi Ryan,

Is it an intentional requirement that -maltivec or -mspe be specified after the cpu type?

No I do not believe so. I think that it is just that this case was never checked.

I am going to check in the attached patch which fixes this behaviour and which adds a test to the gas testsuite to make sure that the problem does not arise again in the future.

Cheers
  Nick
