 == Leopard (ppc) ==
 
-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 it's not quite usable yet:
+Darwin/PowerPC support is still quite experimental 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 (fully upgraded through r131812), I've been able to *build* libc++ for ppc but it's not quite tested yet.

-I suspect the issue is in libmacho and will be testing a fix for it soon.
