+Subject: [PATCH] Fix build on PowerPC
+
+On PowerPC-based architectures, SDL includes the altivec.h header
+for SIMD intrinsics. Unfortunately, altivec.h defines some types which
+conflict with C++ types like bool and std::vector. This commit adds
+a wrapper for altivec.h which resolves these conflicts and allows
+supertux to build and run.
+
+Tested on a ppc64le workstation.
