The 476 cpu has dynamic branch prediction, so we don't want to always
use static branch prediction hints.  Is the following patch ok assuming
my currently running bootstrap/regtesting doesn't uncover any regressions?

Is this appropriate for the 4.6 and 4.5 branches as well?

Peter


	* config/rs6000/rs6000.c (rs6000_option_override_internal):
	Set rs6000_always_hint to false for 476.

The patch is okay.

It is not appropriate for 4.5 and 4.6 branches because it is not a bug fix.

Thanks, David
