I think NetBSD and maybe some other obscure OSes are the only ones that 
absolutely need this. Under Mac OS X, the performance loss of not using 
-dppc603 will be minimal, because the RTL changes that this causes are 
overridden by libc routines. The impact of the changes in the compiler 
is much smaller.
