Comment (by kencu):

 I want to be clear that I do enjoy seeing you work on this, and I get your
 enthusiasm. I don't want to dissuade that at all! The whole reason that I
 posted how to enable MacPorts on that 10.6-for-PPC user forum in the first
 place was to let folks like you know that MacPorts would be useful for
 you!

 Having libc++ build on PowerPC might be useful now that gcc11 can use it.
 You never know.

 But what we (you) really need to do is find a small group of people who
 are interested in PowerPC and who can take Iain's work on llvm-7/clang-7
 on PowerPC and finish it.

 He has posted that he has actually finished it to a point where the
 lowering works on Darwin now. That was not too long ago (past few months).
 But he said it was too rough for him to make it public.

 Someone with time might finish that!
