I have now removed Xcode 4.2 and Xcode 3.2.6 with their Unix tools,
installed Xcode 3.2 onto 10.6.8, built Macports as ppc in default prefix
to mimic conditions where m4 successfully builds on 10.6 PPC, however it
still fails on 10.6.8.
I have a pre-built source for ppc now (built with identical Xcode tools
and same version of gcc as in 10.6.8). Can I somehow install it into
Macports on 10.6.8? (I know about setting up local archives way, but that
is a fallback option if everything fails locally.)
