Comment (by zanderpower@…):

 Same problem here, again on Leopard (10.5.8), PowerBook G4, ppc7450.  I
 was hoping that my computer had merely overheated!  This is a serious
 problem as gcc46-gcc49 all need libgcc, and I am rebuilding MacPorts from
 scratch.  Almost all of the ports I am seriously interested in require a
 non-native GCC to build.  It's a good thing I still have _most_ of the
 ports from my old installation on a separate directory path, even though I
 can't update the gcc-4x. I hope that everything depending on the gcc-4x
 will update using the outdated versions.

 Has anyone made any progress here?

 By the way, I am using ld64-127 @127.2_0+llvm34 (with llvm-3.4 @3.4.2_1).
 Does anyone know if ld64-97 @97.17+llvm34 can build the current libgcc?
 Or a different llvm?  Also--what other llvm's build on a PPC running
 Leopard (the only other llvm I've tried is llvm-3.3)?

 Any help will be greatly appreciated!
