 If the issue is purely technical, then it is not too hard to build PPC
 code on a modern Intel Mac. Set up 10.6.x in VM, make sure to install
 Rosetta, build Macports for PPC natively, run PPC binaries. I have such
 set up on my MacMini at home with Catalina.

 But of course, the problem may rather be economical: upstream has limited
 time and may prefer use it for smth else. This is understandable, so my
 questions here do not imply I expect others to fix the thing and keep
 maintaining. It just might happen that for someone from developers errors
 I reported are known and trivial, while for me it may take days or weeks.

 My general understanding (which can be wrong) is that compilers, if
 properly designed, are cross-platform, and we don’t need to change PPC
 assembler, it just has to be fixed once. If gcc11 builds, sbcl should ))

 P. S. I don’t want to create a burden for anyone, and lack of hardware or
 spare time is perfectly understandable. If someone comes up with a useful
 suggestion, great, otherwise I will try to fix it myself and update on
 success or failure.
 I will look into assembler error, it’s two lines of code after all, should
 be fixable.
