SDL/SOURCES/SDL-1.2.15-vec_perm-ppc64le.patch

Correct vec_perm() application on little-endian 64-bit PowerPC

The LE transformation for vec_perm has an implicit assumption that the
permutation is being used to reorder vector elements (in this case 4-byte
integer word elements), not to reorder bytes within those elements.  Although
this is legal behavior, it is not anticipated by the transformation performed
by the compilers.

This causes pygame-1.9.1 test failure on PPC64LE because blitted pixmaps are
corrupted there due to how SDL uses vec_perm().

+       Unfortunatly the result order is not the expected one for powerpc

+       not of type 'vector char'. This is because the numbering from the
+       left for BE, and numbering from the right for LE, produces a
