The problem has been observed on a debian g3 mac, and this patch makes
ffmpeg usable on that machine (a kind debian user granted me shell
access on his laptop to develop and test this patch). I don't know about
other powerpc variants but my intent was to create the least invasive
patch possible for this problem in order to avoid unintended side effects.

Do you have a more general/better change in mind?
