He won't be able to build gcc if he has a vanilla OS-X installation.
However, go here young man...
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/compiler/
and
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-03/msg00507.html
These will provide basic Apple cc tools which will then let you compile
gcc. (what the over-bloated Xcode is based on, anyway).
Note the following :
This version of GCC requires at least cctools-590.36. The cctools-590.36
package referenced from http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-03/msg00507.html
will not work on systems older than 10.3.9 (aka darwin7.9.0).
Have fun!
Brat.

Hi,
I have recently become frustrated with Macs for programming on. I do
programming in school for ICT, and I refuse to download nearly a gig of
software just to get Apple's Xcode. All I wanted was to compile a bit of
C! Installing Linux is not an option; the teacher is a big Mac fanboy.
SOo.. I need a Live CD that I can boot into, hopefully with some basic
development tools included, and save my source code to a USB key to work
on again. Can anyone reccommend a suitable distro that runs on PPC?
