    llvm and ld64 for ppc64 on Leopard

    MacPorts

    There's not yet an installer, there's standard advice to build from source. I thought first of the Subversion approach and there's https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.subversion but there's no svn with build 16A319 of the operating system, so I went to...
