Comment:

 Again, I would prefer to resolve the issues with building and using clang
 3.4 on ppc. See jeremyhu's comments on #49764.

 At any rate, I don't see this as a port specific problem but a more
 general one.

 I think we should establish a ticket specifically for the issue of
 identifying a more modern tool chain that can be used consistently on
 powerpc platforms with modern C, C++ and objective C standards and modify
 ports base to use it as the fall back rather than mixing and matching on a
 port by port basis. I have real sympathy for the powerpc plight but,
 unfortunately, this is an issue that is only likely to become more
 difficult as new standards evolve over time. Folks like yourself that have
 the appropriate hardware and interest need to take the lead in this quest
 if it is to be successful.
