If there are any compiler warnings, I'd be interested in seeing the
entire output of "make linux-ppc32-altivec". Also, if possible, I'd
like a copy of the incorrectly produced *.chr file. You can generate
one out of an almost-empty john.pot if you do not want to reveal any
information on your actual cracked passwords.
Please also try adding "-fsigned-char" to the CFLAGS, -- does it help?
Unlike almost all other architectures, PPC traditionally has "char"
unsigned by default. Although John tries to be neutral to char
signedness, this is still a primary suspect.
Thanks,
