Hi,

Unfortunately right now libc++ isn't built for powerpc (neither 32 nor  
64).  Why is llvm50 looking for libc++?  Do you have a test case I can  
try with?

The hope is that soon (in time for FreeBSD 12 to branch) we'll have a  
full clang world+kernel for all powerpc targets, so this should  
eventually be resolved naturally.  That said, as part of our goal for  
driving FreeBSD forward we want to also move to a modern toolchain  
regardless, which can include migrating to an external GCC if needed.   
This will also allow us to build libc++ as part of base.

Long story short -- libc++ isn't in base for powerpc right now, but  
should be in the not-too-distant future.
