Comment (by prynhart@…):

 I have hit this issue on 10.5.8 PPC.  Cruically, the "-faltivec" flag
 seems to work due to the following:
 :info:build /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-
 darwin9/4.0.1/include/altivec.h:44:2: warning: #warning Ignoring
 <altivec.h> because "-faltivec" specified

 i.e. the compiler doesn't hit the bit of code that it's unhappy with.

 I have tried using an alternative compiler (port install gimp
 configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2) but this also hits the same problem.

 You might also need to build with +quartz +no_x11 -x11 to hit this issue.
 (Can the OP confirm whether their variant.conf file has these options, or
 whether they're manually specifying quartz.)

 Please let me know if I can help more.  Would be great to get this fixed
 (and allow some PPC systems to run the latest and greatest Gimp :-) )
