jack @1.9.12 does not build on 10.5.8 PPC

[udbraumann]

While installing jack @1.9.14 (an requirement for gpac @0.8.0_1 which in turn is a prerequisite for MP4Joiner @2.2_2) on my PPC G4 building of JackCoreAudioDriver.mm stops with an internal compiler error of gcc7:

Just now, after my installation attempt, I notice that jack @1.9.14 is available. I will try this soon.

internal compiler errors are a hard one to fix. Is there a crashreport?

[udbraumann]

Nothing, except this message inside the report given above taken from the main.log: internal compiler error: in objc_eh_runtime_type, at objc/objc-next-runtime-abi-01.c:2791

I meanwhile managed to check if jack @1.9.14 behaves differently, but does not, below a similar snippet from the main.log, but starting a few lines earlier:

What I could provide is the JackLockedEngine.h, but I need to start compiling again, as I had cleaned already.

Still unfixed in the latest version, and same error with gcc12. #67794 ​https://github.com/jackaudio/jack2/issues/950
