-dnl The AltiVec C extensions
-dnl
-dnl There are several possible cases:
-dnl - OS X PPC, gcc 4.x: use -mpim-altivec -force_cpusubtype_ALL, don't
-dnl                      need <altivec.h>
-dnl - OS X PPC, gcc 3.x: need -faltivec, don't need <altivec.h>
-dnl - Linux PPC, gcc 3.4, 4.x: need <altivec.h> which requires -maltivec
-dnl - Linux PPC, gcc 3.3: need <altivec.h> and -maltivec -mabi=altivec
-dnl - Linux PPC, gcc 3.x: need <altivec.h> and -fvec
-dnl - Others: test should fail
