 Yes.  All powerpc ports use GCC 5.3 as of:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2016/04/26/msg074237.html
 
 and then GCC 5.4 (HAVE_GCC=53) as of:
 
   http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2016/06/07/msg075250.html

 When the GCC version updated, I rebuilt all my releases from scratch
 again.

 I also had trouble building gobject-introspection on amd64.  I was even
 using a snapshot build rather than my own.  I ultimately wiped out all
 of my packages as some were built with GCC 5.3 and then
 gobject-introspection itself built fine and most packages that required
 it built fine, but then I ran up against "gstreamer0.10" on i386 and
 "gstreamer1" on amd64.  Attempting to build either of those produces
 the failures while using gobject-introspection I've logged here.
 
 I'm in the midst of updating with my first 7.99.33 build and will try
 again soon.
