PowerPC is apparently supported by clang, so ultimately it should just
switch over like i386 and amd64.

Clang doesn't compile on sparc64 at the moment.  I assume this is just a
temporary state of affairs and sparc64 support will be forthcoming
eventually.  Until then sparc64 will have to make do with the current
gcc in base.
