Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #64229, comment 16

initial	v1
6	6	To be honest, I have very rarely tried building anything as PPC on my 10.6.8 Intel system; I think I might have only done it once or twice as a test for some "hello_world.c" program many years ago. So I am no expert in cross compiling to PPC from 10.6.8 Intel, for sure!

8		I did use the cross compiling more on 10.5 Leopard Intel, when I had dreams of a working llvm/clang on 10.5 PPC. And of course, it works quite reliably there, at least for the Apple gcc compilers. None of the ~~MacPorts-installed gcc compilers can cross compile as we install them~~. The clang/llvms can cross compile to PPC, but the binaries have an incorrect Darwin PowerPC ABI layout and so are ultimately broken.

None of the usual MacPorts-installed gcc compilers can cross compile as we install them (although there are some gccs in macports that specifically do cross-compile to other systems).

10	10	You can make your own gcc cross-compiler on Leopard easily, however. I have done that several times.
