I just verified that this patch fixes the compile problem. Please commit this fix. It is still needed for 10.5.8 ppc. Thank you.

Someone should still report this problem to the developers of erlang.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using

Confirmed on my Leopard G4. The problem seems to be that some of the lines they've added to the assembler source files in R15B contain comments, like this:
And the assembler doesn't like those comments. Another report of this kind of problem is here. There, they fixed the problem by removing the comments, but I think the problem is just that "#" is not a valid start-of-comment character in this context, at least not for the assembler that's on PowerPC Macs. I Googled examples of PowerPC assembly code, and they use ";" as the start-of-comment character. Here's a patch that makes this change, and now it builds for me. I haven't tested on Tiger yet.
