snapshot-20101018-2245 fails to compile on powerpc(64) with altivec
unit. But it compiles, obviuosly, with --disable-asm .

First problem:
[...]
gcc -Wshadow -O3 -ffast-math -O2 -mcpu=powerpc -pipe -Wall -I. -maltivec -mabi=altivec -std=gnu99    -fPIC -s -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-tree-vectorize   -c -o encoder/lookahead.o encoder/lookahead.c

common/ppc/mc.c: In function 'mc_chroma_altivec_8xh':
common/ppc/mc.c:463: note: use -flax-vector-conversions to permit conversions between vectors with differing element types or numbers of subparts
common/ppc/mc.c:463: error: incompatible types when assigning to type '__vector unsigned char' from type '__vector unsigned short'
common/ppc/mc.c:464: error: incompatible types when assigning to type '__vector unsigned char' from type '__vector unsigned short'

common/ppc/mc.c:502: error: incompatible types when assigning to type '__vector unsigned char' from type '__vector unsigned short'
make: *** [common/ppc/mc.o] Error 1


thus applying a quick:
sed -i -e 's|-mabi=altivec|-mabi=altivec -flax-vector-conversions|'
configure
