I think there is potentially a slightly different cause of the above problem.
During the introduction of the Altivec code, the blit_table struct field
'alpha' got changed from a straightforward enum to a bitmask, which makes
perfect sense by itself. However, now the table driven blitter selection code
in SDL_CalculateBlitN() can choose the wrong blitters when searching for a
NO_ALPHA blitter because of the following code:
int a_need = 0;
...
(a_need & table[which].alpha) == a_need &&
When searching through the normal_blit_2[] table, a SET_ALPHA blitter (like
Blit_RGB565_ARGB8888) can now be selected instead of a NO_ALPHA one, causing
alpha channel bits to appear in a non-alpha destination surface. I suppose this
could theoretically be an indirect cause of the segfault mentioned above.
I *think* this can be fixed by changing to
int a_need = NO_ALPHA;
