- Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.
+ Add support for the Signal Processing Engine. This will set up
+ the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This
+ mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.
+
+ Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
+ tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
+ configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support.
+ It will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your
+ TARGET_CFLAGS, and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG,
+ so you do not need to explicitly add them.
