Well, it is good if 3.0.10 is broken on ppc32 in general and not only
macOS, since then there are higher chances it gets fixed for everyone, as
the failure is not supposed to be OS-specific.

I am not really an expert re how this works with FAT builds (since it is
broken in MacPorts at the moment), but I can imagine ld64 behaving
differently when building bi-arch (Apple gcc support building for both in
one go).
BTW, interesting that you built it with gcc-4.2. For some reason I had C11
in the portfile, which pulled in gcc-14. I should try old Xcode gcc, maybe
that gonna work.
