powerpcspe doesn't support -maltivec according to base r307761.

(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #3)
> Use of -mvsx would prevent use of PowerMacs and such as far as I can tell:

Shouldn't be a problem if the file built with -mvsx is never called on a CPU
that lacks VSX. Looking at FreeBSD kernel code, PPC_FEATURE_HAS_VSX is alwa=
ys
available when PPC_FEATURE2_HAS_VEC_CRYPTO is.

Is it possible to run FreeBSD powerpc (or only userland) on modern
powerpc64-capable hardware akin to running FreeBSD i386 (or only userland) =
on
modern x86_64-capable hardware? If so then -mcrypto -maltivec usage is corr=
ect
even on 32-bit powerpc.

At least lib/freebl/gcm-ppc.c (with USE_PPC_CRYPTO defined) builds fine with
Clang -target powerpc-unknown-freebsd13.0.
