You don't list the options you passed to configure. I suggest you
read: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.2/buildstat.html and scroll down to
the entries named 'powerpc-apple-darwinX.X' and click the links to
see what they options people have passed to configure for
successful builds.
Also, try the darwin-gcc3 at opensource dot apple dot com mailing list, if it is
still active.
