Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mplayer
(this is not a dup of the various bugs about incorrect usage of altivec
instructions on G3 machines...)
The mplayer package in feisty started crashing on G4 machines (among others)
due to the use of
the fsqrt instruction which is part of the GP optional instruction set and
currently only available,
afaik, on 64 bits processors.
It's been either open-coded or been generated by gcc due to the use of the
-mpowerpc-gpopt compilation
flag, either way, it now SIGILL's on G4 machines which is fairly annoying.
** Affects: mplayer (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
