Comment (by braumann@…):
Thanks for paying attention to my suggestion. Since {{{gcc5}}} is
available on macports, the situation for PPC has improved!
Well, gimp2 presently cannot be built on PPC (10.5.8, Xcode 3.1.4) since
unfortunately {{{webkit-gtk-2.0}}} does not build (I forgot why). To be
honest, I also do not know why babl was installed on my system which I
managed to upgrade recently (see above), it presently has no dependents.
Anyway, there are a few ports requiring {{{clang-3.*}}} which in fact also
can be built using {{{gcc5}}}. {{{clang-3.4}}} builds on PPC, but it is
not functional! I leave it to you as expert(s) what mechanism is best to
include {{{gcc5}}} as replacement for PPC. compiler.fallback is only
effective if a certain required compiler, say {{{clang-3.*}}} is
blacklisted for a certain platform?
I am sure that not all ports requiring {{{clang-3.*}}} (and
{{{llvm-3.*}}}) can be built using gcc5 on PPC, but e.g.
{{{py27-gobject3}}} or {{{gnome-keyring}}} and {{{babl}}} and others can.
