 Replying to [comment:7 pguyot at kallisys.net]:
 > From what I understand, it will break tk support.

 Yes, I've seen that note as well. I don't know what is best to do.

 Maybe it's better to break only Tk than the entire PPC target, and do some
 dodgy if arch == powerpc thing.

 I've filed a bug with the ruby project for this though, because
 it happens with a pure tar ball as well:

 http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/193

 I mean there is no working ruby 1.8.7 for that machine right now, it
 seems.
 But I think most people want it for rails and such, where tk is quite
 secondary. I think have never invoked a single Tk widget in the 3 years
 I use ruby.
