firefox-x11@7.0.1 doesn't build: 10.5.8, ppc

The make gets to building config/nsinstall.c using clang but then fails on that part with
a long list of errors. I have cleaned and reinstalled, same error. Latest of Xcode installed,
rest of macports up to date.

I attached a portion of the build process.

Nope, and it won't.

Then please fix the port so it errors out early with a friendly message. If it's just powerpc that won't work, it's quite easy: set "supported_archs i386 x86_64".
