No, building is ok but there are many other issues to be resolved. Like
altivec on G3. It should be disabled but many G3 users send to me many
emails with runtime errors that are fault of altivec procedures and this
sholud be not possible.
There are always the liba52 alignment problem that is not resolved. When i
compile liba52 with altivec enabled the sound is always jerky. If i dable
it all goes ok.
And regards runtime detection, i think that this is a great feature but
since it can be disabled why i cannot compile a version on my G4 without
altivec? 

Bye!
