openssh won't install on PowerPC because it blacklists all gcc compilers

Description (last modified by randomshinichi (Andrew Chiw))
OS X 10.5.8
However, when I ran sudo port install libxml2, it offered to start installing its dependencies and prompted me with yes or no!

Whatever openssh needs (and I doubt it really needs clang), it should work on powerpc because I've seen it here

Clang doesn't work on PowerPC. I believe Ken has said it's almost working, but it's not working today. I thought we had gotten the MacPorts compiler selection algorithm fixed so that it would not try to use clang on PowerPC.
The specific error message given that "its dependency libxml2 does not build for the required arch by default" is inaccurate and should be ignored. You should be able to install libxml2 with no problem. I haven't yet looked at openssh...

openssh is choosing clang because of this block in its portfile:
platform macosx {
if {${os.major} <= 11} {
# clang is required to build the new Apple Keychain integration due
# to it using the Object Subscripting feature, c.f. #59397.
# We'll keep it simple and just blacklist any gcc version, cc
# (which could be anything), system clang versions prior to those
# shipped with Xcode 4.4.
# Regarding the macports-clang versions, any version in the
# MacPorts tree should suit our needs, since the clang
# documentation lists FOSS clang/llvm 3.1 as the first version to
# support Object Subscripting and the oldest version in our tree is
# now 3.3.
compiler.blacklist-append *gcc* cc {clang < 421}
}

See #60385 for another similar ticket. A workaround was found there that disabled the keychain integration. We should find a way to include that in the official portfile.
