Robert P. J. DAY says:
According to Mike Frysinger, this patch was removed from Gentoo in the
2.3.x series and didn't seem to cause any adverse effects. So toss it
from the patch directories for glibc 2.5 and up.
1 Based on gcc-3.4.0/gcc-3.3.3h-ppc-asm-spec.patch
3 Fixes the following errors when building gcc for ppc7450:

16 Note that the "-mcpu=7450" option must appear on the "gcc" command line in
17 order for "-maltivec" to be passed to the assembler. Or, "-maltivec" itself
18 may be passed to the "gcc" command.
