The LLVM error messages don't mean that the binaries were built with LLVM/Clang but that LLVM is being used for software-rendering. The underlying software is called llvmpipe. See: https://docs.mesa3d.org/drivers/llvmpipe.html Since LLVM does not support all features on 32-bit PowerPC, llvmpipe has some issues on this architecture. Adrian -- .''`.
