You'll probably mark this bug as invalid,
as it's not my bug and being on x86, I really can't
provide any info.

As you may see there, a trivial autoconf test was failing
with -maltivec, but even before upstream made a change
to do that test with g++, instead of gcc, it was working on x86.
That's why I suspect it may be a compiler problem,
that poppler upstream simply masked.
