Hi, After the libffi fix i've just sent to ports@ and that is needed on top of that diff, gforth needs some tweaks to build on macppc.
By default it runs out of memory. So i tried to - use i386 patches: it runs out of memory - build everything with -O1: it runs out of memory - build everything with -O0: preforth segfaults Finally, i managed to make it with ports-gcc and building with -O0 due to memory usage [0]. It's also _way_ faster to build than with base-clang. No REVISION bump is needed, it's broken since base-clang's introduction, _SYSTEM_VERSION-powerpc has been bumped since then, and this diff only impacts macppc. The test suite is very light, so i tried several example of forth code found on the web without issues. Comments/feedback are welcome, Charlène.
