 Thank you, I will try this.

 By the way, what is the correct way to install a package built on another
 machine (or same machine but other OS)?
 I am asking this since I may use an Intel Mac to build something as
 universal (like you did with Clang) that fails to build on PPC Mac.

 Another reason is that for 10.6 PPC port +universal does nothing, however
 it is reported that 10.6 PPC can in fact build for ppc64 in command line
 with no issues: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/darwin10-snow-

 That is, the issue is on Macports side, but I cannot ask this to be fixed,
 as no one here got 10.6 PPC. I can however build on 10.5.8 PPC as
 universal (whatever does build there) and pass that on to 10.6 PPC, or
 possibly build on 10.6.8 Intel for 10.6 PPC after installing needed
 components via XcodeLegacy.
