mrustc with GCC for PowerPC

[barracuda156]

So unlike on Rosetta, where mrustc fell early, natively it builds to this stage:

test -e bin/mrustc
/usr/bin/make -C tools/minicargo/
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
test -e bin/minicargo
bin/minicargo rustc-1.54.0-src/library/std --vendor-dir rustc-1.54.0-src/vendor --script-overrides script-overrides/stable-1.54.0-macos/ --output-dir output-1.54.0/  --manifest-overrides rustc-1.54.0-overrides.toml

It looks like it then tries to use some x86-specific files, which fails.

Seems that you're using some old and unmerged version of Portfile.

mrust contains a few places where x86_64 is hardcoded inside codebase, I've adjusted as part of this PR which is blocked by upstream ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/16284 .

To be honest I haven't tried to build it on i386, it probably fails. So, I suggest to wait with support of ppc until i386 is here.

I will try that, thank you. Basically I opened the ticket to track the matter. Not that I expect an immediate resolution :)

Tried this update: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/16284 Identical failure on the same spot.
