           Summary: altivec detections is broken.
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-ffmpeg
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

Version details: 0.8.6.2

The code down below is from the gst-ffmpeg configure to look for hardware
altivec support. On a G4 this program runs like expected, exit without problems.
On a G3 it core dumps. But the funny part is that configure on that same 
G3 says:

--------------------------------
checking for fast integer types... yes
checking altivec.h usability... yes
checking altivec.h presence... yes
checking for altivec.h... yes
checking for support of Motorola Altivec API... yes  <== should be no.
checking for localtime_r... yes
--------------------------------
Smells like a logic bug somewhere.
