About the srpm building on ppc :
- please don't default to --enable-mmx in it, or check for i386-*
It built anyway, don't ask me how, and I grabbed :
vlc configuration
-----------------
vlc version           : 0.1.99h
system                : linux-gnu
architecture          : powerpc
plugins               : yuv dummy dsp fb gnome x11
vlc aliases           : fbvlc gvlc
So that means that even with --enable-mmx on ppc it wo'nt build with mmx
assembly code, fine.

- please move default ppc optimisation from  -mcpu=604e to -mcpu=603e (as
the G3 is very close in optimisation to the 603e, and the G4 to the G3)
Is there a way for configure to automatically find out which flavour ppc it
is ???

- gvlc nor fbvlc aliases are present in path (updatedb broken as of now, so
I can't see if they're present at all)

Some output on my G4:

(without -noaudio ac3dedc will still report tons of
ac3dec error: invalid mantissa
Is it present/installed in vlc or is it my livid's broken one ?)

Image is still very distorded (is it the same on i386 ?).

Thanks for taking in account all my ppc remarks from the previous release,
and keep going !
