I am experiencing problems when using a standalone application that uses altivec assembly instructions.

The program is compiled and loaded into the systemsim simulator as an .elf file correctly.

the program starts execution correctly.

whenever an altivec instruction occurs, the processor issues an exception and jumps to (0x0F20).

How do I have to set up the simulator and machine registers like MSR to execute those instructions correctly?

When I run a similar program in a simulated linux environment, no problems occur.
