Comment (by kencu):

 More excitement:
 {{{
 $ port -v installed llvm-5.0
 The following ports are currently installed:
   llvm-5.0 @5.0.2_0 (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'
 date='2018-12-20T18:16:42-0800'
 }}}
 with any luck `clang-5.0` should be right around the corner, and then
 we're getting into serious territory. Building `compiler_rt` is still a
 bit messy; I have to spend some time on that and fix that build up for
 PowerPC.

 You can get the WIP for clang-5.0 here
 <https://github.com/kencu/LeopardPorts/tree/master/lang/llvm-5.0> .
 clang-5.0 will likely build, but will get bogged down in the `compiler_rt`
 as above, I suspect.

 If you have interest and want to help, dive in and share! My current plan
 is to try to write a new CMakeLists.txt for
 projects/compiler_rt/lib/darwin and skip most of the fancy stuff currently
 done that confuses things.

 Plan B (which may become Plan A) is to see if I can get this older
 compiler_rt from David Fang building <https://github.com/kencu/compiler-
 rt>. Dunno how much clang-5.0 will like that ...
