New description:

 OS X for PowerPC is not supported by Apple anymore. GHC's support has most
 likely bit-rotted and we have no test machine. Let's go ahead and remove
 support for PowerPC Darwin.

 The following components contain PowerPC Darwin specific code:
 * native code generator
 * RTS
 * driver
 * build system
 * testsuite
