MVME5500 broken with gcc-4.0.2

WARNING:

rtems/gcc (implicitely) uses -maltivec on all 74xx CPUS and
the MVME5500 calls for -mcpu=7450.

Unfortunately, with -maltivec, gcc uses vector registers for
some optimizations.

--> until proper altivec support is implemented in RTEMS random
     *data corruption* must be expected.

Workaround:

make/custom/mvme5500: use -mcpu=750
