Please, do not build the distro with altivec enabled or will cut compatibility with all powerpc emb systems
Freescale, Amcc and so and so . In my case i have a dual 5020 and a quad core 5040 system and everytime apps or system command have altivec instruction inside the program crash. there is not an altivec emultation working inside the linux kernel.

I use a PowerMac (Mac Mini) with a G4 and everything is fine. Technically even Altivec is not required: https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?tag=powerpc&user=debian-powerpc%40lists.debian.org Don't forget to set the usertags so that we can track those. -M
