I have a patch for gcc that forces it to use the old assembler ever if clang-5.0 is installed. I haven't pushed it yet, but I can send it to you if you like.
The binaries server I put up basically _is_ an Intel builder...covers 10.4 & 10.5 PPC and Intel. Use it if you want. Glad you're well! British Columbia is going through a major second wave now....everyone at home again...waiting for vaccine...
