Comment (by PotMJ):

 Replying to [comment:7 ballapete]:
 > The question should be: Why is the compiler using warning options at
 all? The MacPorts products are meant for end users, compiler warning
 options are (or could be) useful for developers.
 These warning options are useful so code can be maintained.  This was
 simply a case of the code never being meant for such old compilers, so it
 seems best to just patch them out in the Portfile when targeting old
 systems.  Not a big deal, but I appreciate how annoying it is when a
 dependency fails on one.  I'm just sharing my fixes :-). I don't have a
 PPC machine to test this on, but the library checks out 4 arch as
 installed, so it should be good.
