 sources…
 Try this one-liner
 {{{
 printf '#include<stdio.h> \n int main(void) {fprintf(stderr,"Hello,
 world\\n");}' | clang-mp-3.1 -arch ppc -xc -o out.exe - && ./out.exe
 }}}
 and vary your versions of clang. For me it worked for {{{clang-mp-2.9}}}
 to {{{clang-mp-3.1}}}. Apparently the {{{-arch ppc }}} can be used even on
 10.6.8 Intel Macs (have tried for x86_64). As far as I can remember
 {{{clang-mp-3.2}}} to {{{clang-mp-3.4}}} were unable to build even this
 very basic example. Moreover, {{{clang-mp-3.4}}} cannot be built on PPC.
 And if you try {{{clang-mp-3.5}}} on Intel Mac (with 10.6.8), you get the
 particular message {{{ld: unknown/unsupported architecture name for: -arch
 powerpc}}}, so even the formal support which was given so far has been
 dropped recently.

 So how to proceed further for our search for a solution?
