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@opensource.apple.com mailing list, if it is
    still active.
