I have a couple of iBook G4s sitting around and wanted to get |
| 11 |
llvm/clang-3.4+ going on them. But realistically, that effort is stalled |
| 12 |
and not likely to be revived. |

Dropping ppc-macos would greatly simplify the binutils-apple package by |
| 15 |
removing those huge, pet-project ppc-support restoration patches I |
| 16 |
introduced. The 8.0/8.1 update is pending anyways - I have preliminary |
| 17 |
ebuilds olocally and got stuck in updating exactly those PPC patches. |

BTW: Is there an OS X version support cutoff for x86/x64-macos? I'd |
| 20 |
guess, no one is really running 10.4/10.5 on Intel hardware any more, or |
| 21 |
is there? |
