I tried this and the required luck Matthew Dempsky mentions was nowhere to be found. Basically I ran my usual script but with CC as PCC. Whatever did not build with PCC I then built with GCC, but I got a lot of failed builds (eg Sylpheed did not build with GCC once PPC ports had been built). So basically to mix programs built with both compilers the results are a lot better if everything that requires GCC is built first. A compiler more minimal than the "dancing hippo" [http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-11/msg00918.html] is good. I still see commits happening on PCC mailing list, hopefully one day it will build everything.
