Well, yes, the attached patches solves the problem. Thank you. But it
all depends on what you want to do. I mean, yes, it successfully
disables the altivec code. But maybe it is a good thing to have altivec
acceleration? I rather see FSF-gcc support in the code. We can at least
find a solution where it is enabled for Darwin and disabled otherwise.

I added the file "libavcodec/ppc/gcc_fixes.h" to solve things like this.
But it is probably not a good idea to include that one from code under
"postproc/"...

lu, are you working on FSF-gcc support in "yuv2rgb_altivec.c"?
