Hi,
any of you still running G3 or anyway a non-altivec computer?
I noticed that using GS applications (compiled from source, not debian
packages) I am unable to open JPEG files, I get an Illegal instruction.
(gdb) bt

The GS code is quite well tested on many platforms and hasn't chaged
recently, so I want to be reassured that jpegturbo works also on PPC
without altivec or anyway works.
I what test program could I use? I noticed that e.g. Firefox (which
works) is not linked against it.
