Not directly related to the bug being discussed, but since we already deal
with powerpc here:

What is the reason for pre-built ppc binaries being broken on Darwin? I
understand that Darwin ppc ABI differs from ELF, but on x86 they somehow
work both on Linux and Darwin, AFAIU. On ppc that is not the case, which is
particularly painful for users, given that most of the relevant hardware is
not the fastest (especially G4) and MacPorts has no buildbots for powerpc
(MacPorts not being the point here: nobody has buildbots).
Full bootstrap of guile takes 10+ hrs to build even on G5 Quad, I recall on
2.3 DC it was close to 20 if not 24. On a single G4 it will probably take
several days.

If this could be addressed by someone from upstream, so that we can have an
option to build it without a full bootstrap, it would be really helpful.
