Excellent work!

It is possible to use the GDC 0.24 version (for Tiger) with Leopard,
provided that the the GCC support files are added from the tarball
that were left out in the gdcmac PKG. (this is because it is looking
for the files for "darwin8", but can only find the new "darwin9" now)

Installing those in /usr/lib/gcc (maybe some in /usr/libexec/gcc)
makes it just fine to use GDC from Leopard as well (with Xcode 2.5).
I think you might even be able to install the GDC files under the
Xcode 2.5 install location (/Xcode2.5), but I haven't tried it yet.

You are welcome!

PS.
On a totally unrelated note, another Code::Blocks Mac build was posted:
http://prdownload.berlios.de/codeblocks/CB_20071115_rev4639_mac286.zip
It's not as nice as Xcode, but freely available under the GPL license.
(it uses wxWidgets, and is available for Windows and GNU/Linux as well)
