Package: mpeg2dec
Severity: important

 Hi,

  When libmpeg2 is compiled with gcc 3.3 it triggers strange miscompilations
in the altivec code.  This causes programs that use libmpeg2, such as
gstreamer-mpeg2dec, to segfault when libmpeg2 is used.

  See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154431 for more details.  The
attached patch builds a working libmpeg2-4 for me on powerpc.
