While I have not seen that specific error, I did have many problems
building GHC on my PPC Mac OS X 10.4 machine. They were all fixed by
upgrading to a more recent version of the XCode and developer tools
( I am currently on 2.3, I have not tried the more recent 2.4 ).
Hope that helps. If not, e-mail me directly and we can might be able
to work through the issues.
Now, if someone has some hints about how to compile GHC on a
PowerBook G4 in less than 36 hours, I am all ears :)

Subject: GHC Hackathon
Hi, guys. I'm looking forward to the GHC Hackathon next week. In
preparation, I was hoping to make sure that I can build GHC (on my
Mac,
OS
X 10.4). I've got part-way through the build (of GHC 6.4.2), but it
stops
with apparently syntax errors. I'm guessing that this is enough for
the
Hackathon, and I'll be able to get expert help there; but if you think
there's something else I need to do to prepare, do say.

PS In case you're interested now: while calling ghc-inplace on
ghc/rts/Apply.cmm, I get errors
Apply.cmm:28: illegal external declaration, missing `;' after
`section'
Apply.cmm:52: syntax error, found `1'
Apply.cmm:52: illegal method selector, found `*'
and then many more, perhaps consequential.
