Comment:

 While I understand the motivation behind the request, but removing yasm on
 PPC platforms won't do much unless a reasonable replacement that builds
 successfully on these platforms can be provided.  Although, I am the
 libvpx maintainer, I don't have access to any PPC systems at this point so
 I must reply on those who do to help test and debug any proposed solution.

 So please be patient while I come up to speed on this issue.  It would be
 helpful to clarify exactly what works and what doesn't and how that is
 accomplished.  The initial report here seems to imply that building
 without yasm works on
 Tiger at least, but later it is reported that nasm does not work on
 Leopard. A precise statement of results on the different PPC platforms
 using specific configurations including build logs and patches where
 appropriate would be helpful.

 Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to ryandesign for bringing this
 issue to my attention.
