Indeed, I can see from the snipped of build output I posted that none of
"-maltivec" or "-mabi=altivec" are present, whereas they are for the
ffmpeg compilation I do right before. I'll try forcing an append of both
the the CFLAGS I use and see what gives.

FYI, the configure script says this :

checking altivec.h usability... no
checking altivec.h presence... no
checking for altivec.h... no

And later on says this :

checking if $CC groks AltiVec inline assembly... yes
checking if $CC groks AltiVec C extensions...
checking if linker needs -framework vecLib... no

And finally the summary :

vlc configuration
--------------------
vlc version           : 0.8.3-svn
system                : linux
architecture          : powerpc altivec
build flavour         : optim release
vlc aliases           : svlc wxvlc

I'm not sure if any of the above is wrong or not. Possibly the empty
"AltiVec C extensions" should at least be yes or no...
