Comment (by kencu):

 SIgh -- I have got to push that commit to fix the compiler selection on
 PPC. I had posted up what I thought was the fix, but it didn't get much
 attention. But I think I'd better go ahead and shove that on through.

 - clang-3.4 is useless on PPC. If the default compiler is blacklisted,
 need to fallback to gcc6
 - many (most, maybe all) 32 bit ports need `configure.ldflags-append
 -Wl,-read_only_relocs,suppress`

 those two changes will solve many of the PPC build issues. IMHO they
 should be in base.

 The issues that still persist after that are trickier.
