Description Thomas Haschka 2016-07-15 23:14:46 UTC
Libjpeg turbo automatically detects and compilies for altivec on powerpc, even without given use or other flags. 

This happens since version 1.5.0 and was not the case with version 1.4.2 (1.5.0 is the current unmasked version and 1.4.2 is not in portage anymore )

This resulted in all applications using it returning: 
illegal instruction on my G3: (750cx)

libjpeg-turbo should not be the default if this is the case (and or) feature an altivec use flag patch for a correct setting. It should not install on systems lacking altivec. 

A workaround is to unmerge libjpeg-turbo and emerge media-libs/jpeg

it should not be installed on ppc by default.

Comment 2 Thomas Haschka 2016-08-05 22:32:15 UTC
There is further a --disable-simd feature in configure: 

so I suppose the solution would be to get something like this into the ebuild

if [arch == ppc]
Comment 3 Thomas Haschka 2016-08-05 22:37:08 UTC
Sorry for the last comment it submitted by a typo:

There is a --disable-simd option in ./configure .. 

I guess this bug could be resolved by adding an "altivec" useflag to the ebuild. 
If this flag is not set on the ppc platform the --disable-simd option shall be triggered. This then should allow for building libjpeg-turbo for G3 processors. 

This is also important as other packages i.e. firefox with external libjpeg need libjpeg-turbo.
