Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled. In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore. Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14. To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new binutils, the test is simply removed.
