Is this a sign that nobody has tested 10.1-stable on a 32-bit ppc?

FWIW, build failed locally on a new 10.1 32bit install for:

x11-wm/xfce4
sysutils/screen

Am guessing compiler has issues with 32bit ppc when fed some 64bit code; 
I neglected to capture errors during build.

I bet making 64bit instruction sets back-compatible for a compiler 
building 32-bit ppc is a real hassle.

I'm willing to build again and capture errors if someone else wants to 
diagnose/fix.

ATM am powerpc-happy using getty/xterm;
