In packages/powerpc, there is a precompiled package of firefox36,
but no newer version (there is in ports though). Perhaps the reason
is folklore knowledge, but why isn't the port being prebuilt?

Makefile says

        # necessary glue to build with the correct compiler after fx 17
        MODULES +=              gcc4 lang/clang
        MODGCC4_ARCHS =         powerpc
        MODGCC4_LANGS =         c c++
        MODCLANG_ARCHS =        amd64 i386
        MODCLANG_LANGS =        c c++

Am I understanding that right that with gcc4 and lang/clang installed,
I can build www/mozilla-firefox on macppc (powerpc) too?

Is this situation different (with respect to bulk builds)
from a normal dependency (of firefox on gcc4)? Is this why
newer frefox is not being prebuilt for macppc (powerpc)?
