-m7400 doesn't change the size of data structures, does it?

The #define won't work -- __setjmp14 isn't the name that programs
use.  You'd need to use __RENAME().

For pthreads, etc. you need to make sure that the ucontext_t stuff on
the nathanw_sa branch has support for AltiVec.  Best to do it now before
the stuff is brought down from the branch.
