-PowerPC support is still under heavy development in llvm, so expect things to not be as stable as more established toolchains.  Additionally, it is non-trivial to bootstrap libc++ on Leopard because the libcxx port does not build with versions older than clang-3.6, and clang-3.5 and newer require libc++.  After setting up my Leopard/Intel Mac as described above, I've been able to build libc++ for ppc but have not given it much testing:

After setting up my Leopard/Intel Mac as described above, I've been able to *build* libc++ for ppc but it's not quite usable yet:

+I suspect the issue is that getsectiondata is striding by sizeof(struct mach_header_64) but the compiler maybe laid down a struct mach_header.
