Several things: a) rsync.penguinppc.org is not a good mirror. b) clearing out the build directory and resyncing from source.mvista.com yields up-to-date source code. c) I didn't realize that xconfig was broken. With fresh new source and with menuconfig, CONFIG_ALTIVEC can be set properly. Stefan Jeglinski ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
