error using gcc 48 on PPC

[Ken Cunningham]

In https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross/issues/50  it is suggested that to link against the 10.4 SDK with PPC you need to use Tiger's linker. Well down the page.

I haven't tried that myself as yet.

There's lots of further good PPC lore there too....
