anybody knows, why altivec fails to compile on os-x 10.3? is this an issue of an outdated gcc?
FYI, This is the gcc version: gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)
I don't know about Altivec, but some forms of MMX/SSE support are rather unstable until gcc 4.1. However this might be only affecting implicit SIMD, not explicit SIMD as GEM is compiled with. I remember devel_0_39 compilation crashing gcc 3.3 in a module that doesn't refer to SIMD, so this had to be a problem with implicit SIMD.
(Else I've never used Altivec so I can't really tell.)
