This is a followup to a previous ticket. Based on what I learned from that, I went ahead and tried to install the latest openldap on Gentoo Prefix. It pulls in lmdb-0.9.14 which I understand now to be the preferred database backend over db, for example. I successfully fixed one PPC error, replacing -soname with -install_name (ld throws an error here), but I am left with an error having to do with _posix-memalign:
Undefined symbols for architecture ppc: "_posix_memalign", referenced from: _mdb_env_copyfd2 in mdb.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture ppc collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Over at MacPorts, they are recommending disabling mdb, but this doesn't seem to be a real fix:

The better fix I think would be to test for _posix_memalign, and fall back to valloc on older Macs.
In terms of C preprocessor macros, I believe "powerpc" and "PPC" to be drerecated definitions; "__ppc__" and "__PPC__" being valid.

Thank you in advance for your time.
