[x264-devel] error compiling x264 on powerpc

[Sergio Roa]

Hi again,

Sorry, I forgot to add some more information. This is a Ubuntu 8.10 
installation.

$ uname -a
Linux aliena 2.6.25-2-powerpc #1 Tue Sep 30 14:49:00 UTC 2008 ppc GNU/Linux

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

--target=powerpc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.2 (Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu12)

When compiling it in an x86 Ubuntu 8.10 system with the same compiler I 
don't get any errors.

cheers,
Sergio.
