Why not?  As far as I can tell from the gcc configury, the target string
only affects the defaults (i.e. powerpc-*-linux gets -mno-spe
-mno-altivec, powerpc-*-linuxaltivec gets -maltivec -mno-spec, and
powerpc-*-linuxspe gets -mno-altivec -mspe).  There doesn't seem to be
any real impact beyond this that would make the compiler binary
fundamentally incapable of generating either type of instruction if you
pass the appropriate options on the command line.
