#69255: Base should rather use ppc+ppc64 on Leopard with PowerPC cpu, not ppc+i386

 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.
