Yes, please. There are two separate bugs here: earlier versions of the
package have broken altivec detection that leaves the package unusable on
some procs, later versions have no altivec detection at all. The former is
RC (at least arguably), the latter is not, so it would be helpful to be able
to distinguish between the two.
