2.4.25+ ppc32 "make xconfig" error

[Kevin Diggs]

Hi,

	The make xconfig command spits out the following error (warning):

ERROR - Attempting to write value for unconfigured variable 
(CONFIG_ALTIVEC).

This is on a PowerMac 8600 running YellowDog 2.1.

Commenting the VMX thing for the Power4 in arch/ppc/config.in fixes the 
problem:

This problem also prevents you from enabling AltiVec (UI unresponsive).
