I built the released gcc 4.0 C compiler on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1
(Darwin 8.1).
I did a make bootstrap of just the C language on a Power Macintosh G5
Dual 2 GHz machine and it built without incident.
% ./config.guess
powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0
The compiler used to built 4.0 is the one shipped with Tiger:
% gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0/specs
Configured with: /private/var/tmp/gcc/gcc-4061.obj~8/src/configure --
disable-checking --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man --enable-
languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^+.-]*$/
s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/gcc/darwin/4.0/c++ --
build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --
target=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061)
% as -v </dev/null
Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-576.obj~23, GNU assembler
version 1.38
The resulting bootstrapped compiler gives this info:
[~/gcc-4.0.0/build/gcc] % ./xgcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0
Configured with: ../configure
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.0
I have not run make check, but the bootstrap went through all 3
stages without any errors.
