#45794: osxfuse doesn't build on PPC

--------------------+--------------------------------
 When attempting to install osxfuse on a PowerMac, I ran into a couple of
 issues in the build.sh script.

 The first issue, which is really an upstream problem, is that the list of
 supported Xcode versions doesn't include 3.1, which is the last version
 that runs under 10.5, which in turn is the last OSX version for PPC.  I've
 reported this in an an already existing thread:

   https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/issues/121

 The second issue is that the build.sh as modified by MacPorts specifies
 the architecture to an xcodebuild command as "Power Macintosh", which
 xcodebuild chokes on.  Changing this to "ppc" makes the build work.  I'm
 not sure whether the problem relates to the Xcode version or the
 architecture, and I don't know why this one architecture-related tweak to
 build.sh became "Power Macintosh" while the others became "ppc".

 After modifying the build.sh in the MacPorts build area, I was able to
 successfully install osxfuse on a Quad G5 and on a PowerBook G4 (both
 running 10.5.8 and Xcode 3.1.4).  It was then possible to install sshfs
 with no issues, and it seems to work properly.

 I'm attaching a diff for the the fixes to the MacPorts-modified build.sh,
 though only the "Power Macintosh" issue is specific to MacPorts.
