Don't do that. As I've tried to explain before, that combination makes
no sense. --enable-power-altivec means "unconditionally use the altivec
code". --enable-fat (now the default) means "let the fat setup code
determine at runtime if altivec (and other) features should be used".

That said, I haven't done any tests of the altivec code on Mac. I'd have
to rely on help from Mac users to fix any problems.

You're a bit too terse, I have no idea what problem this is intended to
illustrate.
