Comment (by kencu):

 this is no doubt a "wontfix" or more like a "can't fix".

 I'm not sure that this port should fiddle around with it's supported archs
 and buildable systems, as clamav has no business tracking what systems
 rust will or will not build on. These details change, and should be kept
 in the rust Portfile, where they are now, rather than expecting clamav to
 track them...

 and just because rust currently won't build on powerpc darwin doesn't mean
 it won't build on powerpc linux, or that someone won't fix it to build
 tomorrow...
