Comment (by kencu):

 Yeah - nothing will reliably build and run on PPC with clang-3.3 or
 clang-3.4. There are too many llvm assembler errors that never were, and
 by all reports never will be, fixed.

 Anyone using Tiger on PPC (or Leopard on PPC) needs to be well aware of
 this fact.

 I take it you're OK with closing this ticket then? Nobody is going to
 build this logic into the portfile, I suspect -- PPC users just have to
 know that clang is a lost cause on PPC, and deal with it when it happens.
