Segfault is new (which version?); the fscking mess in altivec is not, but
it (a) doesn't depend on host sparse is ran on; (b) shouldn't lead to
segfaults.  Altivec extensions are undocumented and fortunately used only
in one place in the tree.  You should get sparse errors, but it shouldn't
die on those.
