The attached patch is from RedHat/Fedora, details of the issue and
the analysis / discussion of it are here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1392465

The patch has been applied in RedHat / Fedora since two years. If
there are no objections, I will apply the it to the SDL-1.2 branch
in a few days.

Sorry, the patch was generated against 2.0:
The correct version is attached. Awaiting objections
(and/or approval.)

Surprisingly, the altivec code paths seem similar to
1.2 ones in the 2.0 tree, but noone has yet complained
about ppc64le...

I didn't actually intend that this go into 2.0. Let's see if anyone screams.
