491014 - Move the compilation of OSX PPC binaries to the faster intel machines

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Brent Baker]

Our PPC machines take around 4 minutes to compile the avmshell, making the PPC "compile" builders slow. PPC "compile" phase takes around 30 minutes, while the intel machines take around 10 minutes.

We can move the compilation of the PPC bits onto our much faster intel machines since xcode can cross-compile for the PPC and PPC64 architecture.

Attachment: compile OSX PPC shell binaries on intel machines

- move the compilation build steps for PPC to the matching intel mac build slaves
- add local build scripts for intel slaves to compile the shell specifying --target=ppc-darwin to compile the binary for PPC architecutre
- make a generic base compile script that all other build-*.sh scripts use
- stop uploading the binaries into tamarin-redux/latest. This is not needed are reduces some of the time in the compile phase
