Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:1 kencu]:
 > I would imagine libtapi might be made to build on ppc with enough effort
 (probably starting with 10.5 Intel would be the approach I would use), but
 it won't be useful anyway. libtapi allows a newer ld64 to use the most
 recent macOS SDKs, and this is not relevant for ppc.

 libtapi on ppc and stop it from being wanted.

 Thank you for replying! I have tried building darwin-xtools from here:
 https://github.com/iains/darwin-xtools
 And Cmake stopped complaining that libtapi is missing. Also the outline of
 the process that eventually is supposed to get gcc11 built mentions tapi
 as a requirement: https://github.com/iains/darwin-toolchains-start-here

 So I thought that building libtapi via MacPorts (and then pointing to it
 for Cmake) would be a relatively easier way than to try building it on its
 own.
 It is quite possible however that there is another way.

 P. S. Yeah, I am still looking for options to get gcc11 built on PPC.
