I have been trying to install Linux/GNU on an POwer Macintosh G3, but it appears that this is not going to work. Inserting a Yellowdog 3.0.1 install 1 CD-rom into the drive freezes the machine solid. BootX versions later than BootX_1.1.3 won't unpack. BootX 1.1.3 freezes the machine about 60% of the time rather than starting a kernel. rocklinux gets a CRC error on the ramdisk and then can't find init. ubuntu manages to continue after ramdisk unpacking errors, and even goes as far as partitioning if you restrict the partitions to 13 GB or less, but then it say it can't find the CD_ROM it just has read lots of files from. So, since there is no native platform I can test, would you like me to benchmark cross-compiling a suitable package? IIRC powerpc-eabisim is a possible cross target. Would CSIBE cross-compile time measurements fit your requirements? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20211
