Main.log from PPC Tiger

[kencu (Ken)]

Hi Pete -- You know you'll never get it to build right with clang-3.3 on PPC -- just bad compiler selection logic for 10.4/PPC in the Portfile; try apple-gcc-4.2 or gcc6 maybe.

Someday we should find a way to blacklist all clangs up to 3.7 on PPC for all ports so they are never selected as the build compiler. clang-3.8 is the first one that is halfway usable, and that's only if you go through my hoops to get it.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

It builds with configure.compiler=macports-gcc-6.

I believe this bug only arose because you were building with clang on PowerPC, which does not work, so let's call this a duplicate of #55473.
