I don't understand this. Why does gcc on powerpcspe enable altivec by
default? If powerpcspe ships a gcc that has broken default settings,
then this should be fixed first.

I have noticed that you have filed a similar bug against mplayer, and
suspect that you have filed many more bugs. Is it possible that with
fixed gcc default settings, no changes would be necessary in mplayer,
libav and possibly many other packages?
