Comment:

 I'm not dismissing quickly. We made a decision years ago not to make TBBs
 for PPC platforms, specifically on OSX. It's a lot of work for hardly any
 users on a platform we do not have access to, and on OSX PPC is definitely
 no longer a supported platform by Firefox:

 -or-powerpc

 If you want to make it work on Linux PPC then that's awesome and it sounds
 like you might have some luck. It's possible it might just build out of
 the box for you, even. But The Tor Project is not going to do it.
