Comment (by kencu):

 Iain indeed has a newer ld64 for PPC there, and it would be nice for our
 PPC users to have that in MacPorts. Iain has a version of libtapi building
 against llvm-7.0 in his repos that he uses for this.

 However, bringing all this smoothly into MacPorts is indeed a project
 requiring some considerable skills. You are on the path to acquiring those
 skills, but it takes time.

 For now, building Iain's darwin-xtools and llvm-7/clang-7 for PPC forks
 would best be done completely outside of MacPorts, I would say. Just reset
 your path to stock, and pretend macports is not even installed at all. His
 repos are set to assume this. He might even help fix issues in that
 process if you post them there, as he is extremely helpful when he is not
 uber-busy with real paid work!

 Once you have it building, which is a project in itself, then next you
 would look at the changes needed to bring it into macports.
