/opt/local/bin/i686-apple-darwin8-gcc-apple-4.2.4 is missing on PPC.

[kencu (Ken)]

I haven't been using the gpl3 version of apple-gcc42, so I guess that is why you see this and I don't.

When I remember correctly then libmacho was needed by libunwind. The latter seems to have finished service, is not needed anymore. The recent Portfile seems to be a mess, because libmacho cannot be built apple-gcc42 @5666.3_16+gpl3 because of such reasons with:

Using apple-gcc42 @5666.3_15 to build results in the same failure. So let's forget and close this ticket? (Or should I try with apple-gcc42 @5666.3_16?)
