Re: [Valgrind-users] Problem building ppc64 tests due to altivec flag...

[Florian K. <fl...@ei...>]

This is a bug. I've opened https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338731
There is a patch attached to that bug that should fix the build issue.
It would be good if you could try it out. And even better if you could
run this command

perl tests/vg_regtest none/tests/ppc64

afterwards.
