I have installed the PPC fork of Homebrew to `/usr/local`. I am able to install git with `brew install git,` but after I run `brew update`, I am no longer able to successfully use `brew install`. It instead complains that Homebrew doesn't support PowerPC. The output from `brew install gtypist` is here:

[git://gist.github.com/1431478.git](git://gist.github.com/1431478.git)

Output of `brew doctor`:

$ brew doctor
/usr/local/Library/Formula/pdf2svg.rb:6: warning: parenthesize argument(s) for future version
The version of libcurl provided with Mac OS X Leopard has outdated
SSL certificates.

This can cause problems when running Homebrew commands that use Git to
fetch over HTTPS, e.g. `brew update` or installing formulae that perform
Git checkouts.

You can force Git to ignore these errors by setting $GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY.
export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
