Hi Csaba,

I don't exactly know what's going on here, but you're very likely to run into several problems with this configuration:

1. Clang doesn't have real powerpc support.
2. Tiger support is atrophying in LLVM, because no one is using it.
3. Using an FSF GCC on Darwin is asking for trouble.

To get past this error, you could try hacking out the export list, but I wouldn't be surprised if you hit other issues later.
