I recently tried to build lang/gcc on powerpc with the JAVA option on and got what I think are similar errors with libtool. If you could provide a patch for what you had to change to get it to work, that'd be most appreciated. It built fine without the JAVA option, but I did have to turn on the BOOTSTRAP option in both cases to get it to build on powerpc. Though it does add a considerable amount of build time, I think something like this in lang/gcc: OPTIONS_DEFAULT_powerpc64= BOOTSTRAP might be called for. If we can get the JAVA stuff working, I might even consider making that default if that would mean it would be usable as a bootstrap for lang/openjdk[78]. Or maybe we leave it off by default, but use it to build a powerpc version of java/bootstrap-openjdk.
