For powerpc, just stick with gcc4, I don't see what's the problem
with this:
MODULES= gcc4
MODGCC4_ARCHES= powerpc
MODGCC_LANGS= cc

Whatever you do on arm -- it will be slow anyway, at least on the
zaurus, and nobody will use mplayer or mencoder on armish for real.
Well, except for some strange people who also test games/openarena
on the zaurus (with 0.2 fps).
Oh, and FTR: the color distortions on macppc I reported the other
day were just a PEBKAC -- I had a stupid xorg.conf in place that
used the wsfb driver instead of the radeon driver (autodetected on
my powerbook). Removing the xorg.conf fixed the problem.
