#72613: Pandon 3.7.0.2 doesn't run on Snow Leopard x64

     Type:  defect                      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  High                        |  Milestone:  MacPorts Future
Component:  ports                       |    Version:  2.10.7
 Keywords:  pandoc snow leopard xserve  |       Port:  pandoc
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------
 It appears that pandoc is built using the latest Xcode and the binaries
 stored on the MacPorts server. However, the latest Xcode uses instructions
 that are not present on the Xeon 5000 series on the Xserve 2008. So, if
 pandoc is invoked on Snow Leopard, it immediately terminates with "Illegal
 Instruction". I can't seem to be able to build from source, as if the
 feature was disabled for this port.

 To duplicate...
 On Snow Leopard using an Xserve or any circa 2009 Intel CPU, "sudo port
 install pandoc"
 After installation (It claims it's correct), run "pandoc"
 It will display "Illegal Instruction"
