[gentoo-alt] Prefix on Darwin, ppc64

[Johan Hattne]

Dear all;

I’m lead to believe that there’s at least one other person with a 64-bit PPC Mac at hand.  I see this problem with the linker when I try to build e.g. gcc-apple:

powerpc64-apple-darwin9-gcc -m64 -std=gnu89   -g -fkeep-inline-functions -DIN_GCC   -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-common   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o cc1-dummy c-lang.o stub-objc.o attribs.o c-errors.o c-lex.o c-pragma.o c-decl.o c-typeck.o c-convert.o c-aux-info.o c-common.o c-opts.o c-format.o c-semantics.o c-incpath.o cppdefault.o c-ppoutput.o c-cppbuiltin.o prefix.o c-objc-common.o c-dump.o c-pch.o c-parser.o darwin-c.o rs6000-c.o c-gimplify.o tree-mudflap.o c-pretty-print.o c-omp.o dummy-checksum.o \

This is within an old prefix, with 4.2.1_p5666-r1 and binutils-apple-3.2.6.  I’ve googled a bit, but haven’t found anything.  Is the above something anybody recognizes?
