It's very unlikely that just loading up all of the boot files will
   work, especially if there are several cross-compiles needed.  

The documentation in BUILDING is extremely non-specific,

"The bootstrap files listed with the -B option (as many as needed) are
loaded in order, so be sure to get them right."

Is there any good way to tell what's needed out of the whole list?

   Use 19c or a snapshot instead?  But if you really want to compile a
   version for yourself, you should start with 19c and load the
   bootfiles in order.  [...]  But why do you want to build everything
   yourself?

The only binary available in the mirror for PPC/Darwin is from 2004
and is version 19a.  To get a more recent version that runs on this
platform, it seems I may need to build it myself!
