I think AltiVec instructions can appear anywhere if you compile with -maltivec, so I think the bug cannot be deferred to FFmpeg. The alternatives you suggested are not very pretty, but I don't see a good alternative. I think the symlink approach is preferrable. Unless of course you created two different packages, one with AltiVec support and one without.
