I disabled altivec in 'config.h' (actually, that file never detects 
altivec automatically, perhaps a bug in the configuration script?) and 
'config.mak'.
It now compiles without error, so I assume it is really an altivec 
problem...

Yes, it seems that the '-maltivec' and '-mabi=altivec' flags should be 
replaced by -faltivec.
With that flag replacing the others, the compilation succeeds.

So perhaps anyone should modify the configuration script or may write a 
little text in the README file that you have to apply these changes?

Thank You
Regards
Christoph
