	I can't tell as it was not tested with it, but at least the
unix version of povray-3.6.1 is known to work on several other
64-bit platforms (for instance GNU/Linux on AMD64; IRIX64).
	Can you compile a simple test program with this flag
and see if it works?  If so, you could try to recompile povray
using the --enable-debug flag for configure and -mpowerpc64 in
your CXXFLAGS, run povray under a debugger, and report the
backtrace right after it segfaults.

	My feeling is that gcc produces wrong code with this
optimization flag, but I didn't search google about it yet.
