Oh, indeed: These were the so-called "PowerPC G5" machines. [1]

But Gnulib has never been tested on such machines. It has been tested
on "ibook G4" hardware and on x86_64 machines with CC="gcc -arch ppc".
Therefore we don't know, and probably will never know, how to write
correct, working code for Mac OS X 10.5 / powerpc64. (Such hardware
was very expensive at the time [2] and is museumware by now.)
