It *would* be powerpc-apple-darwin1.2, if it actually worked.
However, FSF GCC sources do not yet include the myriad random bits
that you need to get a working GCC on OS X, so don't even bother
with it for now. Instead go to the Darwin project site
http://www.publicsource.apple.com/projects/darwin/projects.html
and pick up "cc" (needed for the driver, for obscure reasons)
and "egcs" to get older versions, or get set up with CVS to
pick up the latest 2.95.2-based version (look at
http://www.publicsource.apple.com/tools/cvs/ for the details).
Oh yeah, and send mail to Stan Shebs, shebs@apple.com, complaining
about how Apple is not getting its changes into FSF sources
quickly enough.

project to try to get compilation speeds up...
