I would be equally happy if there is just a separate revision for PowerPC,
which is justified by a lack of buildbots, so here it does save hours or
days of compilation. When one can simply download pre-built compiler, it
is far less of a pain (and whether extra stress on buildbots is justified
is not up to me to decide).
If arch-based revisioning is undesirable, we could think of some other
way.
But to me it looks like sensible, not just in a context of recent revbump.
Earlier there was a massive revbump of gcc ports due to some potential
clang-related issue: obviously, that was also completely unnecessary for
powerpc where clang is broken to begin with.
On the other hand, I want to do some fix-ups for powerpc, and for those
revbump is required – but only for powerpc, so why do it for everyone.
