Comment(by vince@…):

 I understand this very well. I don’t mind llvm not supporting ppc64. My
 ire was caused by the fact that llvm is now a dependency of gcc; in other
 words, building a compiler that supports ppc64 requires building a
 compiler (why?) that cannot. Call it by any name, for me I can’t help but
 thinking it is stupid. That cctools stuff should not be enforced for ppc
 archs.

 I had to tweak my Macports.conf file to change build_arch to ppc, then
 manually remove --disable-multilib from the configure_args to build a
 universal gcc (ppc/ppc64) without using the universal variant. But now I
 am stuck, because if I want to build a ppc64 binary, I have to reset
 build_arch to ppc64, and Macports wants to rebuild gcc…
