 Replying to [comment:1 kencu]:
 > llvm-5.0 has a universal variant, and builds universal just fine and
 dandy -- however, it is only enabled to build universal as i386/x86_64, as
 PowerPC llvm-5.0 is broken and so it is not enabled in the main MacPorts
 repo.

 a build for PowerPC that might be accepted into MacPorts, once it is fully
 tested and vetted to work.

 I had a lesser aim in mind, to build ld64 as +universal (ppc+ppc64), which
 fails with llvm-3.3 and llvm-3.4, but works with llvm-5.0 on PowerPC.
 `ld64-97 +llvm50` works perfectly then.
