app-office/homebank-4.0.1 compiles and installs straightforwardly on ppc. All I had to do was set ~* for app-office/homebank on package.keywords and update dev-util/intltool as per Bug 252975. As a side note, Fedora has had rpms for Homebank on ppc for a while, so it should be safe to assume that ppc is supported upstream: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=homebank&arch=ppc Thanks Felipe
Thanks for the report, marked 4.0.1 ~ppc.
