GCC's default compile options are set to e500v2 on powerpcspe, most
importantly enable_e500_double is activated (this is the distinction of
e500v2 vs. e500v1). So no separate activation necessary...

...however, -maltivec is still present but doesn't make sense to enable
at the same time with e500, hence compile errors.
