Yes, the ports clang does have a problem, because it's built with
shared libraries.  I've reported it (tacked onto an existing report) to
llvm.  The cause is that there is a symbol in the PowerPC JIT code
that's naked (no PIC annotations), so the shared library fails to load
at runtime. I will submit a separate bug report to llvm in the near
future, just so it doesn't get lost.
