in TigerPorts you will find fixes for up to clang-7.0 to run on Tiger Intel. It works fairly well, still some assembler quirks on 10.4 I recall.

I forget now how far I got with TigerPPC… clang-3.8 I think, that supports thread_local.

I fixed Leopard up to clang-9.0 on Intel, and clang-7.0 on PPC.

clang/llvm generates useless broken code on PPC Darwin anyway, however, even if it does work.

I wouldn’t bother posting tickets and logs … nobody can use them to fix these. If you want to try to get one of them fixed in MacPorts, just fix it yourself and if you get somewhere, post up a PR with your solution for people to try.

These tickets will just sit here dead for 100 years.

Thank you, I'll take a look.
