[macports-ports] branch master updated: ffmpeg: force gcc6 on PPC

Agreed!

For c++, you therefore still need to use the cxx11 1.1 PortGroup to get this magic flag for libgcc that makes all the new builds compatible with the old ABI:

configure.cxxflags-append -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0




Alternatively, it would be possible (and preferred, I think) to build libgcc to default always to the old ABI on these systems by adding this flag to the libgcc build:

configure.args-append --with-default-libstdcxx-abi=gcc4-compatible

which we should probably do on 10.4 to 10.8 that are using this method for c++11.
