Exactly. The first clang version that works even close to reasonably on PPC is clang-3.8. That version does pass 99% of the compiler tests, though. It just has a deficiency for c++ exceptions, which remain broken. That is so far just too tough for me to fix. I’m learning, though. I seem to be interested in compilers — not sure why.
