Description

The base keeps configuring to compile for ppc+i386 on Leopard on G5. There is no utility in building Macports for x86 on PowerPC, binaries cannot be run, and why would anyone want to cross-compile Macports for x86 on PowerPC? :) (Reverse is sensible, since ppc binaries can be run on x86 via Rosetta.)

Much more meaningful would be to use ppc+ppc64, as long as it is 10.5 and physical CPU is powerpc which supports ppc64.
