Git build on antique PowerMac

Hi Everyone,

I have a PowerMac I use for testing. It provides several testing differentiators, like OS X 10.5, Bash 3.2, GCC 4.0.1, Apple cc-tools linker, and big-endian PowerPC. (I think Gentoo provides a Linux image for the hardware, but I don't use it).

The Git libraries and programs build fine out of the box. They also seem to work as expected once installed.

The pain point is the self self tests, which I have never been able to build (or execute). I'd like to close this gap.

make -C templates SHELL_PATH='/bin/sh' PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/perl' : no custom templates yet make -C t/ all rm -f -r 'test-results' readline() on unopened filehandle test_must_fail run_sub_test_lib_test at check-non-portable-shell.pl line 34. Modification of a read-only value attempted at check-non-portable-shell.pl line 34. make[1]: *** [test-lint-shell-syntax] Error 255

Does anyone want to take a shot at this antique system? I can provide SSH access with root.
