Linking to stuff I said 15 years ago isn't even slightly fair :P
Setting CPU_SUPPORTS_ALTIVEC purely on the existence of the altivec header seems a bit wrong tbh. I'm not averse to removing it fron devkitPPC though.
We have a few things in progress right now though so it will likely be in the new year when we look at newlib updates.
Hi! I'm not sure that this is a bug in devkitPPC itself, but maybe you won't be against making a workaround in devkitPPC (or maybe you'll be able to give me a better suggestion).
As I understand from here, the powerpc processor on the Wii and Gamecube does not support the altivec instruction set. Yet, when I build libSDL2, it gets enabled, because this program compiles successfully on devkitPPC (source):
For the time being, I've manually disabled this check when building for the GameCube/Wii, but it would be nicer if I didn't have to do that.
