You were right, SDL 1.x is impacted as well. I've updated the diff
below to include SDL 1.x. It has been tested successfully against
frozen-bubble and tutris. xmoto fails with:
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x9830c5f0 in jsimd_idct_ifast_altivec ()
from /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.70.0
So i know what's up next, but given a lot of stuff depend on libjpeg, it
should be way longer, since i may need to rebuild almost all my
current packages ;)
