I'm not sure why that is. Do you have the latest Xcode, 2.4.1? and  
all the OS updates? gcc41 built fine for me on a PowerBook G4 some  
months ago. I don't really want to try it again right now since it  
would take hours...

Why do you need gcc41, by the way? Have you tried gcc42 instead? Are  
you using a port that depends on gcc41? If so, it could be updated to  
depend on gcc42 instead, now that gcc42 is final.
