My iMac G5 died 2 years ago, and I ran 10.4 on it back then.  Never
upgraded it to anything newer.  We didn't use csu for a long time, until
I understood why Kito had added the package.  I remember updating CSU a
couple of times, so the latest version very well may not be compatible
with PPC/10.4.  We could/should mask it.

Unfortunately not that I know, but I can try the best I can.  I used to
have access to 10.5/PPC, but that no longer is the case either,
unfortunately.

I'd be nice if you have the time to try, because I remember it took ages
to compile gcc-apple... :(
