There is a significant amount of code in the PowerPC backend dedicated to Darwin support and removing it would make maintaining the rest of the backend easier. If anyone expects upcoming LLVM releases to continue to support PowerPC/Darwin, please speak up.

Wow, end of an era.  No concerns from me: someone who cares about building software for old Darwin/PPC machines can use an older version of LLVM.
