Matheus, I believe that TenFourFox (http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/) uses this.  Have you talked with TenFourFox's men about removing Darwin PPC config?  We should respect community.

Of course, when our target becomes 10.6 or later only, we can remove this.

    
    

    
  
Cameron Kaiser (maintainer of Tenfourfox) is CC'ed on this bug. If he's not ok with manually reverting this patch in the 10.4Fx repo we can wontfix this bug since it's just a small cleanup.

    
    

    
  
I firmly believe we should keep this support as long as possible. Removing it isn't worth it.

We do use this code in TenFourFox-land. It's not as big a deal to us personally since we dump our own changesets on top, so I can easily back it out, but there are vanilla PPC Firefox builders on 10.5 and this would definitely put them out of business. I agree with Makoto that when 10.5 is dropped, this code then becomes superfluous, but 10.5 isn't dead yet.
