I don't know about Altivec, but some forms of MMX/SSE support are rather 
unstable until gcc 4.1. However this might be only affecting implicit 
SIMD, not explicit SIMD as GEM is compiled with. I remember devel_0_39 
compilation crashing gcc 3.3 in a module that doesn't refer to SIMD, so 
this had to be a problem with implicit SIMD.

(Else I've never used Altivec so I can't really tell.)
