Not sure to upload a fix for libsdl2 . Please advise
Hello
The bug 770670 [1] reports that compilation of a software including libsdl2 is
not possible on ppc64el when g++ is used with option "-std=c++0x".
This bug was flagged "serious" by Bastian (cc'ed).
On one hand the fix is easy: It's just a matter of disabling a compilation
option (configure --disable-altivec) when compiling on ppc64el, just like when
compiling on powerpc. (see diff below). Only ppc64el version of the package
will actually be different.
On the other hand, this issue occurs when using an special option of g++, so
the bug may be considered as more normal than serious. (Frankly, I don't know)
What do you advise ?
[ ] Should I upload the fixed package to unstable and file an unblock bug ?
[ ] Or just upload a fixed package to experimental ?
All the best
PS: Bastian, thanks for the detailed analysis
