 > Please retry building glib2 for ppc after activating `libxml2
 @2.9.12_1`. You cannot use `libxml2 @2.9.12_1+universal` because it
 depends on icu being installed universal, which it isn't.

 I have deactivated icu, and then trying to install it does not ask for
 llvm. However icu fails to configure for ppc64:
