Hello!
The package src:qt6-multimedia fails to build from source on powerpc since
version
6.4.0-1 due to the use of some AltiVec instrisics that are not supported on
32-bit
PowerPC:
/usr/bin/c++ -DEIGEN_MPL2_ONLY -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS
-DQT_NO_JAVA_STYLE_ITERATORS \
(...)

This can be fixed by switching off vectorization in the »eigen« using the
preprocessor
macro EIGEN_DONT_VECTORIZE which can be defined on the cmake command line using
the
cmake variable COMPILE_DEFINITIONS:

With the above change, cmake defines the preprocessor macro
EIGEN_DONT_VECTORIZE and
the build succeeds on powerpc.
Could you apply this change for the next upload in order to fix the build on
powerpc?
Attaching a patch for a convenience.
Thanks,
Adrian
