Comment (by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 larryv@…]:
 > Is GCC 4.8 actually not supported on PowerPC? I don’t see anything
 upstream suggesting this. As it stands, none of our older GCCs can be
 installed on PowerPC because `libstdcxx` disallows it.

 Fink recently succeeded to build

 {{{
 -rwxr-xr-x root/admin  1404320 2013-04-10 05:52:20
 ./sw/lib/gcc4.8/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
 -rwxr-xr-x root/admin  1520960 2013-04-10 05:54:17
 ./sw/lib/gcc4.8/lib/ppc64/libstdc++.6.dylib
 lrwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2013-04-10 05:52:20
 ./sw/lib/gcc4.8/lib/libstdc++.dylib -> libstdc++.6.dylib
 lrwxr-xr-x root/admin        0 2013-04-10 05:54:17
 ./sw/lib/gcc4.8/lib/ppc64/libstdc++.dylib -> libstdc++.6.dylib
 }}}

 which is close to MacPorts libstdcxx contents:

 {{{
 Port libstdcxx contains:
   /opt/local/lib/.libstdcxx
   /opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
 }}}

 or, for libstdcxx @4.7.3_0:

 {{{
 -rw-r--r--  1 root  admin        0 12 Apr 16:02 /opt/local/lib/.libstdcxx
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  1057028 12 Apr 16:02
 /opt/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
 }}}
