 Replying to [comment:6 kencu]:

 Your eMail came just in time! I was starting to upgrade on Leopard. It's
 strange that I had nothing more to do and port output:

 {{{
 DEBUG: compiler clang blacklisted because it's not installed or it doesn't
 work
 Doing PPC c++11 overrides. EXPERIMENTAL.
 Selected c++ library is:

 }}}

 Why and how is port sourcing that TCL file?

 But it failed to work:

 Still GCC 4.2 at work. Which will fail in the near future…
