What kind of enhancements? I do a fair amount of audio/video
processing on my G4 with the current gcc/Altivec tools. I found only
one minor bug in the exception handler that I fixed a while back.
We have been discussing some of the vector load/store/touch as both
enhancements to the kernel and glibc. It is a little more challenging
in the kernel because we would have to then keep some of the vector
context around for the kernel, but in a very constrained case we could
probably get some speed ups with that.
