Comment (by kencu):

 I don't believe that will turn out to be the real issue, as it builds just
 fine with gcc7 with the same linker and the same configure script:
 {{{
 $ port -v installed fftw-3
 The following ports are currently installed:
   fftw-3 @3.3.5_0 platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'
 date='2017-07-02T07:47:57-0700'
   fftw-3 @3.3.5_1 platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'
 date='2017-12-10T21:20:42-0800'
   fftw-3 @3.3.7_0 platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'

   fftw-3 @3.3.8_0 platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'

   fftw-3 @3.3.8_1 (active) platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc'
 date='2020-03-20T11:58:03-0700'
 }}}

 on 10.5 PPC building with gcc7, I get this:
 {{{
 configure:15255: result: no
 configure:15264: checking whether C compiler accepts
 -Wl,-no_compact_unwind
 configure:15283: /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-7 -c -Wl,-no_compact_unwind
 -I/opt/local/include conftest.c >&5
 configure:15283: $? = 0
 configure:15293: result: yes
 }}}
 and on 10.5 PPC building with gcc-4.2, I get this:
 {{{

 configure:15264: checking whether C compiler accepts
 -Wl,-no_compact_unwind
