Summary: Problems when trying to compile Altivec code

Initial Comment:
I tried to compile Altivec code in common/scaler/hq3x.h on GCC 3.4.3 (Cygwin, host=ppc-amigaos) but it gives me errors.

For example, this:

#ifdef USE_ALTIVEC
        // The YUV threshold.
        static const vector unsigned char vThreshold = (vector unsigned char)((vector unsigned int)0x00300706);

Gives an error of "different sized vectors" or something similar.

Does this code compile for MacOS?
