Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:10 jeremyhu@…]:
 > clang isn't suitable for ppc either, so we should probably remove it
 from ppc systems.

 Mm, and gcc-3.3 isn't suitable for i386 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.

 For now it's a new problem, #42051.

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

 Ah, but you can now,
