We dropped POWER4 support in 2018.

The recent commit just updated the help text to match reality.

There were some changes to the CPU flags, but if anything they should
have made things more likely to work properly on old CPUs.

Previously BIG_ENDIAN && GENERIC_CPU would use -mcpu=power5, now it uses
-mcpu=power4.


cheers
