 I think you're quite right there. I did not notice before that there was a
 difference in PPC support between the two Xcode versions.

 To be honest, I have very rarely tried building anything as PPC on my
 10.6.8 Intel system; I think I might have only done it once or twice as a
 test for some "hello_world.c" program many years ago. So I am no expert in
 cross compiling to PPC from 10.6.8 Intel, for sure!

 I did use the cross compiling more on 10.5 Leopard Intel, when I had
 dreams of a working llvm/clang on 10.5 PPC. And of course, it works quite
 reliably there, at least for the Apple gcc compilers. None of the
 MacPorts-installed gcc compilers can cross compile as we install them. The
 clang/llvms can cross compile to PPC, but the binaries have an incorrect
 Darwin PowerPC ABI layout and so are ultimately broken.

 You can make your own gcc cross-compiler on Leopard easily, however. I
 have done that several times.
