Comment (by kencu):

 By the way, it is quite possible that we might find some issues with ppc64
 and ld64-127.

 I believe that by the time ld64-127 was being worked on at Apple, ppc64
 was dropped, and only the vestigial ppc7400 was left. So there might well
 have been no error checking and no debugging being done to any significant
 degree with respect to ppc64 in ld64-127.

 cctools is likely worse -- the version we use in macports has not been
 tested against ppc64 in more than a decade. I had to do some work just to
 get i386 working again on the last upgrade, and even after that someone
 found a weird rounding error that had been missed by upstream as the code
 path was never used.

 So -- buyer beware!
