Yes.

On powerpc, with that option on, it still tries to link libFLAC-asm.la.

I think the problem is that the logic for including the ASM stuff is
done mostly in the Makefile.am and the automake if statements are 
pretty braindead. The solution would be to figure out whether
libFLAC-asm.la is needed in configure.in and remove all the if 
statements in the Makefile.am repacing them with variable substitutions
which automake gets right most of the time :-).
