Do you know what is the first gcc version that supports them?

MPlayer configure only checks up to POWER5, needing at least gcc 4.0.
configure enables alivec by looking at cpuinfo, while other features
are enabled by model type.

My search came up with
 - POWER6 from ?
 - POWER7 from gcc4.5 (but probably broken up to 4.5.4)
 - POWER8 from gcc4.9

See attached patch, as usual untested.


Ciao,
 Roberto
