Yes and no. ffmpeg builds two different flavors on powerpc, one that is
configured with --enable altivec and gets installed into
/usr/lib/altivec and another one configured --without-altivec and gets
installed to /usr/lib.

/lib/ld-linux.so queries the kernel for hardware capabilities and sets
the .so search path appropriately.
