I can make sure that it doesn't break 32-bit. Altivec is not present
in
e500v2/e500mc/e5500 cores and e6500 is supported only by 64-bit host.
Are
you looking for G4 support?
Just because Altivec isn't present on 32-bit doesn't mean that a
particular patch can't break things there. Just as a patch to deal
with lazy ee issues can break 32-bit, even though 32-bit doesn't have
lazy ee. :-)
