From 85ec000bd5125ac2f179ae92304c0c35bff16630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Groffen Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2018 13:53:35 +0100 Subject: profiles/prefix/darwin/macos/arch/ppc: mask gcc and binutils-apple versions gcc-8.2.0 compiles and runs, but seems to cause issues with Perl's Configure -- since it's still out there kind of experimentally, mask it for now. binutils-apple-6.3 looked like a viable path to use a more recent compiler, but causes bus errors during gcc compilations, so avoid it for now, to be revisited once we have a more stable environment.
