Thanks for your explanation.

I found "fctid" is supported on PPC64 and PPC476 from assembler source code.
{“fctid”,       XRC(63,814,0),  XRA_MASK,    PPC64,     PPCVLE,         {FRT,
FRB}},
{“fctid”,       XRC(63,814,0),  XRA_MASK,    PPC476,    PPCVLE,         {FRT,
FRB}},

But powerpc7450 only enables PPC. That's why assembler complains.
  { "7450",    PPC_OPCODE_PPC | PPC_OPCODE_7450 | PPC_OPCODE_ALTIVEC, 0 },

My question is: can "fctid" be executed on powerpc7450 such a 32bit processor?
If it's supported, should the assembler be changed also (replace the PPC64 with
PPC for fctid)?
