The powerpc build has been broken for a long time,
a CVS version from before the 3.0 branch point worked.
But the change to shared libgcc seems to have broken the powerpc build.
See this post for a patch to get a working C++ compiler on powerpc.
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-02/msg00946.html>

But even with that patch you will get the following build failure:
