My powerpc has succeeded to 'make' sbcl-2.4.3.

powerpc64 can't build sbcl.  I observed in September 2023 that the
broken lang/rust on powerpc64 was blocking a chain of 12 ports (from
librsvg to psutils).  Today, the missing psutils continues to prevent
'pkg_add texinfo', which blocks both lang/ecl and lang/sbcl.

I am working on a powerpc64 fix for base llvm/unwind, which would
prevent crashes in devel/gdb.  Soon, gdb might be able to debug
problems with rust on powerpc64.
