I added the ppc-macos keyword to the dev-libs/icu-3.4 ebuild, and it emerged fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add the ppc-macos keyword to the icu-3.4 ebuild 2. emerge boost :) 3. # emerge info !!! Relying on the shell to locate gcc, this may break !!! DISTCC, installing gcc-config and setting your current gcc !!! profile will fix this Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-darwin/macos/10.4, gcc-4.0.0, libsystem-7.1-r0, 8.2.0 Power Macintosh) ================================================================= System uname: 8.2.0 Power Macintosh powerpc macos-20041118 distcc 2.0.1-zeroconf powerpc-apple-darwin7.0 (protocol 1) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: [Not Present] sys-devel/autoconf: [Not Present] sys-devel/automake: [Not Present] sys-devel/binutils: [Not Present] sys-devel/libtool: [Not Present] virtual/os-headers: 7.1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="ppc-macos" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="powerpc-apple-darwin" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="powerpc-apple-darwin" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache collision-protect distlocks sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="ppc emboss ipv6 nls ppc-macos ssl threads userland_Darwin kernel_Darwin elibc_Darwin" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
ok, this is a good one to let your cpu smoke... /me waves smoke away dev-lang/parrot appeared to be quite happy with this icu, so I marked both as ~ppc-macos
