 and left gcc-4.0 and gcc-3.3 in the list, because although they won't work
 for C++ code, they'll work for C code, while the next and final fallback,
 macports-clang-3.3, won't even build.

 clang isn't suitable for ppc either, so we should probably remove it from
 ppc systems.

 That being said, it should compile.  What is the issue?  If you're talking
 about #38857, I suggest you just provide a patch.  It should be straight
 forward.

 I don't have any Tiger machines any more, and VMWare only lets me go back
 to Leopard.
