I am reanimating PowerMac 11.2, that is Power4 (970) big endian. Now, what is probably the most useful application on necro-desktop - a www-browser, firefox, fails to build with following error: emerge -v --autounmask-write firefox These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

If you run into further trouble, I think fedora has patches in their repos to fix skia for ppc.
Thank you, trying new ebuild now It's not blazing fast, given its age.
