The later fsf-gcc at least on linux seems to produce correct altivec 
code, given you code it the right way (that could be not necessary the 
apple-gcc right way)

Not really sure if the AmigaOS4 problem is related to the gcc (seems 
not..) or other.

Actually I had an hardware failure with my main ppc system so I didn't 
do much work there lately, but doesn't look that there were altivec 
related commits in that time. Last time I checked everything was ok with 
gcc-3.4.2 fsf

FAQ item:

#include <flame.h>

Q: I'm using a wierd closed source OS with a patched gcc from 
${somewhere} and I'm having issue with mplayer that I consider related 
to the changes in some architecture specific code.

A: Use the very latest mplayer AND libav* code. Find the exact change 
that made the problem appear.
