I suggest the following alternative patch which also enables AltiVec on ppc64el:

endif
-# PowerPC specific optimizations (excluding powerpcspe)
-ifeq (,$(filter-out powerpc,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU))$(filter powerpcspe,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)))
+# PowerPC specific optimizations
+# AltiVec is currently disabled on powerpc and ppc64
+ifeq (,$(filter-out ppc64el,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU))
confflags += --enable-altivec
else
confflags += --disable-altivec
I have not tested this patch though. I will do that later.
Thanks,
Adrian
