Comment (by evanmiller):

 After some further tinkering, I was able to compile and link on the G3,
 but running several of the tests I am encountering {{{SIGILL}}} (Illegal
 instruction). I have not confirmed but this is consistent with a scenario
 where the ppc7400 is still being compiled and executed -
 {{{-force_cpusubtype_ALL}}} is just relabeling the dylib as ppc.

 If there is ever a revival of interest in G3s this would be a good
 candidate (perhaps the only candidate) for my opt-in Altivec architecture
 proposal:
