Mark pointed out the bug here:
configure:21661: checking altivec.h usability
configure:21673: powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc -c -O2 -mtune=powerpc -pipe
conftest.c >&5
In file included from conftest.c:75:
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/4.1.0/include/altivec.h:37:2: error:
#error Use the "-maltivec" flag to enable PowerPC AltiVec support
configure:21679: $? = 1
and indeed, if i change config.h to define HAVE_ALTIVEC_H, the compile works
so not a gcc bug ;)
