Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:20 kencu]:
 > You can't run ppc64 software if the system has no ppc64 support, even if
 compiled on a system that does. You can't static link the system on
 Darwin.

 Got it, thank you. 10.6+ppc64 topic can be considered closed. (If I run
 into troubles with ppc64 on 10.5.8, I gonna open new tickets normally.)

 > And anyway if you're building it on 10.5, you might as well run it
 there, where ppc64 at least was once-upon-a-time tested.

 I will re-install 10.5.8 clean, set Macports to build universal and see if
 I can reach to R framework being built as 64-bit.

 version 15.something, gcc11, octave, etc.

 I was considering actually FreeBSD ppc64, however on non-MacOS Unix and
 any Linux I won′t have other software that I use (think Adobe). And while
 on MacOS I still have reasonably new gcc (and gcc11 is perhaps realistic),
 on Linux I gonna have no Adobe at all.
 Perhaps after I make gcc11 work on PowerPC Mac, I will look into
 alternative OS options more closely.
