Comment (by kencu):

 There are only two options, I believe.

 1. change ".balign" to ".align"
 2. use Iains new "llas" PowerPC assembler. This is a big project, as it
 requires pulling in his llvm-7.1-for-PPC project, which he uses for the
 back-end for the new "llas" assembler he wrote. And that project, the
 llvm-7.1-for-PPC project, is not necessarily something we want in MacPorts
 right now as it is unfinished and raw still. Unfinished raw things just
 cause 100,000 tickets without resolutions, you may have noticed.
