Comment (by kencu):

 newer cctools does NOT understand .balign or .p2align . The assembler is
 dated about 2006, and not updated much since.

 cctools passes assembly to clang on Intel systems, and clang does
 understand those, but not on ppc of course.

 so you’re wasting your time with that.

 If you want gcc10 Right Now, use gcc10-bootstrap, as it is complicated to
 build and integrate a new gcc into macports.

 A serious effort to update older systems to gcc12 is just in the beginning
 stages now. Wait for that to finish
