He is talking about ppc64-darwin which has almost no support right
now.

There was some talk about this earlier this year and then the support
for building the 64bit libraries on darwin was turned off for both the
4.0.0 release and on the mainline.

Note why again are you using Apple's branch.  It does not get all fixes
which the 4.0 release branch will get.
