[MacRuby-devel] Building MacRuby on PPC

[Rich Morin]

I have a nightly cron script which downloads the latest version
of the MacRuby trunk, builds it on a Power Mac G5, etc.  This has
been breaking for a while and I'm wondering if there's something
I need to do.  Here's a precis of the output; for details, see:
