also disabling prebuilt binaries for the port, works, but people will
complain about no prebuilt binaries someday perhaps. As we will probably
never have a Tiger builbot anyway, this is what we usually do.

if the machine can use altivec is really the way to go, but almost nobody
knows how to properly do that :)
