Description Robert Bridge 2019-10-19 22:00:13 UTC 
When media-libs/libsdl-1.2.15-r9 is compiled with the altivec use-flag set on ppc64le, color corruption is observed in wesnoth (and presumably other libsdl2 consumers). When it is compiled with -altivec, the color corruption goes away.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile media-libs/libsdl2 with altivec set on ppc64le
2. Run Wesnoth
3. Observe the corrupted colors
Actual Results:  
Corrupted colors observed in wesnoth

Expected Results:  
No corrupted colors

No corrupted colors observed on same platform with only media-libs/libsdl2 recompiled without altivec.

Ok, I was pulling wrong information when I posted the report... It should have been media-libs/libsdl2-2.0.10 listed, not the libsdl1 version. My apologies.

Being somewhat obscure hardware, I can't easily test this myself and it is almost certainly an upstream bug anyway. Could you please report it there and link it here?
Comment 3 Robert Bridge 2019-10-20 12:12:32 UTC 
Would it be practical to package.use.mask altivec for ppc64le as a temporary workaround?
