What compiler was trying to compile devel/llvm40 on
powerpc64?

For a powerpc64 FreeBSD system. . .

Normally there is not a system-clang with libc++ but
instead a gcc 4.2.1 and an old libstdc++ . In such
a context some other lang/gcc* or devel/powerpc64-gcc
or some such would be required to bootstrap
devel/llvm40 . This sort of issue has been true
since something like clang 3.5 for systems based
on gcc 4.2.1 and its libstdc++ .
