I've been building powerpc64-apple-darwin for a long time,  support  
for 64 bit ppc appeared (partially) in darwin8.
It is fully operational in darwin9, so the comment seems somewhat out  
of date and possibly misleading.

(or I misunderstand what the comment is about, in which case it needs  
revision, please).

thanks for reviewing,
cheers
