lang/guile3 fails to build on powerpc. It probably has the same
problem as guile2, with WRKSRC/prebuilt/32-bit-big-endian being wrong.
(powerpc is the only 32-bit-big-endian arch where we build packages.)
The build error is,

gmake[2]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/pobj/guile3-3.0.8/guile-3.0.8/stage0'
GUILE_BOOTSTRAP_STAGE=stage0 ../meta/build-env guild compile --target="powerpc-unknown-openbsd7.1" -W0 -O1 -L "/usr/ports/pobj/guile3-3.0.8/guile-3.0.8/module" -o "ice-9/eval.go" "../module/ice-9/eval.scm"
Pre-boot error; key: wrong-type-arg, args: (#f "Wrong type to apply: ~S" (#f) (#f))Abort trap (core dumped)
gmake[2]: *** [Makefile:2415: ice-9/eval.go] Error 134

cwen@ had fixed this for lang/guile2 by removing the prebuilt files,
remaking them on a macppc (a slow process of over 24 hours), and
providing g2strap-2.2.7-32be.tgz of the new prebuilt files. I don't
know how to fix guile3. I suggest to import guile3 with,

# https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=26854#11
BROKEN-powerpc = stage0 abort trap, bad prebuilt/32-bit-big-endian

I don't object if some ports depend on guile3. We will lose those
packages on powerpc, but they will come back after someone fixes
guile3. I might try to fix guile3 later, but not now; I have
distractions (like trying to add powerpc64 to devel/ffcall).

I built lang/guile3 on powerpc64 the slow way (about 6 hours, because
there is no prebuilt/64-bit-big-endian). We have been building guile2
the slow way on 64-bit-big-endian archs (powerpc64 and I guess mips64
and sparc64).

"make test" in guile3 on powerpc64 has "2 of 39 tests failed",
