PPC altivec vectorization triggers a bug when compiling with -std=c++11
because "bool" is redefined in altivec.h.

src/emucore/Event.hxx:112:23: error: cannot convert ‘bool’ to ‘__vector(4) __bool int’ in assignment
         myKeyTable[i] = false;
                       ^

Acording to a bug report in GCC [1], "You need to use -std=g++11 or
undefine bool after the include of altivec.h as context sensitive
keywords is not part of the C++11 standard".

So let's compile with -std=gnu++11 by default.

Tested on ARM, x86 and PPC.
