However, since I wanted to build on a G3 Mac, I did not bother to check what happens on G4 Mac with that change. After that, ./configure, make then make install installed libffi.6.dylib and libffi.dylib in /usr/local/lib and {{{ lipo -info /usr/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib }}} gives : {{{ Non fat file: /usr/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib is architecture: ppc750 }}} I was then able to install the gobject-introspection port through macports via : {{{ sudo port install gobject-introspection }}} which failed previously due to libffi with the message : {{{ Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/libgio-2.0.0.dylib Reason: no suitable image found. Did find: /opt/local/lib/libffi.6.dylib: incompatible cpu-subtype }}} PS: I reported [https://sourceware.org/ml/libffi- discuss/2015/msg00085.html this success] to the libffi-discuss mailing list. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47085#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Since I don't know all the implications of making that change, I'll wait to modify the port until the developers of libffi confirm whether that is the correct fix. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47085#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
