qemu crashes in OpenSSL on Leopard/PPC

[js-macports@…]

When trying to use qemu on Leopard/PPC, it always instantly crashes:

In the future, please use WikiFormatting and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers qemu openssl). As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself.

A similar problem has been reported against python27 in #38991.

The same crash as reported in #38991 was apparently fixed. Since I have no way to test on a PPC64 machine, I'm closing this as worksforme, please re-open, or better yet, report to OpenSSL directly, if it still is a problem.
