#69255: Base should rather use ppc+ppc64 on Leopard with PowerPC cpu, not ppc+i386
------------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: barracuda156 | Owner: (none)
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: base | Version: 2.9.1
Keywords: powerpc, leopard | Port:
------------------------------+--------------------
The base keeps configuring to compile for ppc+i386 on Leopard on G5. There
is no utility in building Macports for x86 on PowerPC, binaries cannot be
run, and why would anyone want to cross-compile Macports for x86 on
PowerPC? :)
(''Reverse'' is sensible, since `ppc` binaries can be run on x86 via
Rosetta.)
Much more meaningful would be to use ppc+ppc64, as long as it is 10.5 and
physical CPU is powerpc which supports ppc64.
