1. MacPorts does not have gcc16, AFAIK. It also does not have libcxx for
powerpc. You are probably referring to my port; of course, it assumes a
coherent environment, i.e. the toolchain and ports provided by PPCPorts (and
not upstream MacPorts).

2. That being said, `port -v install libgcc16 -stdlib_flag` (and likewise for
gcc16) does away with pulling in libcxx-powerpc (gcc16-libcxx does not build
anything but simply places headers where gcc finds them).

3. I do not guarantee that gcc16 builds on 10.5, since I did not test it, but
it certainly does build on 32-bit powerpc on 10.6 (as well as 10.6 under
Rosetta, but that needs specific variants of cctools and ld64). The compiler
works fine.

4. If you prefer staying with official MacPorts, it is probably a better idea
to use their ports. As long as / if those work.
