Hi Adam, at this point, we have to consider the use cases. Hmmer is a software for scientific computing. Using it with AltiVec/VMX disabled on a recent PowerPC platform makes no sense from an economical point of view. Also, if building with AltiVec/VMX is broken, it may be the symptom of a bigger probem. How do we know if it the program works at all even if it builds with AltiVec/VMX disabled ? We have no test suite and no sign of users of the hmmer Debian packages on PowerPC. I would recommend to simply stop distributing it on PowerPC, and invest further work only if we have a user asking for it.
