Turns out it is not as simple.
What helped a lot with vector is that it is being used to define a type
in a header, unlike bool which is used everywhere.
Also the first error is because it is used in an enum in a gcc header.
(/usr/include/c++/5/bits/cpp_type_traits.h)

Maybe it is worth (or possible?) trying to compile the parts that result
in error with the -mno-altivec part.
I am not sure how it all works, let me investigate further.
