I have found that the patch and method described at

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2006-09/msg00997.html

allows building on PowerPC.  The resulting compiler will depend on SDK 
(unless overridden by -isysroot.)

Also, I was able to build with gcc-5363 after installing the latest 
Xcode (only tried it on Intel.)
