To be honest, from a multi-platform viewpoint, my favourite would be
to get rid of "info powerpc" completely. But given the fact that we
let the "info powerpc altivec" test slip into the testsuite, and you
seem to like that command, I have no objection to make vector_info()
non-static; your second patch seems too much of a kludge.

Please try to get Andrew's or Kevin's approval though
