Comment (by clubjuggler at gmail.com):

 Ok, researching this more, it looks like gcc 2.95 is not supported under
 i386-apple-darwin*.  The 2.95 compiler, though, is only used for the m68k-
 palmos compiler so conceivably we could not configure that and things
 should work.  I don't know how many m68k palms are still out there,
 though.

 The other options are to

 1. Port gcc 2.95 to the i386-apple-darwin* platform.  Might be able to use
 stuff from gcc 3.  Might not.  Don't know.

 2. Port the m68k patches from gcc 2.95 to gcc 3.0.  The prc-tools building
 page ( http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/BUILDING.html ) says "In
 the future, the m68k patches will be ported to GCC 3.x, and the gcc295
 directory will disappear." but it doesn't look like they ever were.  I
 have no idea how hard it would be to do this.

 For now, I'll look into building just the arm compiler and see how that
 works, but I don't think that's a very good solution since there's
 probably tons of older palms out there and it would be a shame to exclude
 them.
