It works on the X1000. It has AltiVec support. My package doesn't have AltiVec support.

Mario Locati has created a deb file of the non-altivec 64-bit version of Arctic Fox 39.2.

arcticfox-39.2.linux-powerpc64-noaltivec.deb

FYI: The version 40.0 has been released. The project has been moved from wicknix to rmottola, so this is now the main repository.
