Comment (by kencu):

 Sadly, the `llvm` project has given up on Darwin PPC support due to
 unresolved bugs and lack on developer interest and support. All the
 backend support has been disabled in trunk, and the supporting files and
 parts are to be stripped completely out of the source tree.

 They leave the day open that this might be re-added, but that seems to me
 extremely unlikely if they've reached this point after all this time.

 I may still try to get a working version of clang-6.0 or maybe clang-7.0
 for PPC going, but to be noted it's now a dead end. Still, clang-6.0 or
 7.0 would last us many years.
