Comment (by kencu):

 That explains it -- the build that ignored the configure.compiler set was
 not a clean build.

 I have something for you to try, it you like. I added the following block
 to the cxx11 1.1 portgroup on 10.5 PPC, and so far at least, it seems to
 work well.

 In this file:
 {{{
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/_resources/port1.0/group/cxx11-1.1.tcl
 }}}
 add this platform darwin power block in the location noted:

 {{{
     # see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53194
     configure.cxx_stdlib macports-libstdc++

     # added for powerpc cxx11 compatability
     platform darwin powerpc {
         puts "Doing PPC c++11 overrides. EXPERIMENTAL."
         puts "Selected c++ library is: "
         puts ${cxx_stdlib}
         compiler.whitelist macports-gcc-6 macports-gcc-5
         universal_variant no
     }

     if { ${os.major} < 13 } {
 }}}
