Re: Bug#857172: Please enable SSE2 on amd64 and disable altivec on PPC ports

For the powerpc port, if G3 are still supposed to be supported,

If you are telling me altivec is OK, I guess that the flag can be
removed and the situation can be kept as before for PPC
I do happily run on my iBook... including firefox, which is G3. There
are many CPUs without altivec (including PPC601/601/604)
Some applications enable alitvec only on runtime - but if that doesn't
work, big trouble (e.g. what happened with jpeg turbo).
