hdf fails to compile, it dumps a ton of errors. See attached log.

Nice that you tried to compile it. Perhaps the ppc devs can help you there or set a -ppc keyword for this ebuild. Please note that hdf is not ppc keyworded.
Hm, perhaps quite a silly advice to a ppc developer... sorry. Ok, David. What do you expect the sci guys to do with this bug?
:) I was hoping one of you guys would be familiar enough with the code to maybe know how to fix it. (BTW, I masked the keyword on ppc since I wanted to commit some other working apps that had optional hdf support)
Ok, had a look where it fails, and it reads #ifndef GOT_MACHINE No machine type has been defined. Your Makefile needs to have someing like -DSUN or -DUNICOS in order for the HDF internal structures to be defined correctly. That's your hdfi.h:1388: syntax error before "machine" Looks like you'll have to patch this file to let it get an idea what a linux ppc system is like.
Adding 'porting' to the topic
Passing -DSUN in the cflags on ppc makes the application use the correct endianness. Apparently nothing but the SUN macro is defined. Updating the ebuild.
