I *think* this was fixed with a combination of:

r336760 | luporl | 2018-07-27 07:11:05 -0600 (Fri, 27 Jul 2018) | 10 lines


And:
r339589 | luporl | 2018-10-22 07:40:50 -0600 (Mon, 22 Oct 2018) | 12 lines


The current FreeBSD pkg builders are Tyan PPC8 based hosts as well.  I
would strongly suggest using -current for now as we have not been
MFC'ing to stable/12 reliably (I'm not testing on stable/12).
