That would be nice :). How would you distribute the stuff? Via a similar=20
interface as rpmfind or just in some ftp directory?

Well, my main question is: with gcc 3.x having AltiVec support, what does=
 that=20
do to a Linux kernel when compiled on a G4 type machine? Will that=20
automagically produce some AltiVec optimized code or does this require=20
specific, AltiVec coding?=20

Best regards,
