I was just wondering nobody (else) tried, ''intentionally''... B)
Unfortunately I now also have an account there, but will first spend my
time on the Sage 4.7.2.alpha3 release.

There are at least PPC ones for openSUSE (GCC 4.3), e.g.
[http://www.rpmseek.com/rpm-
dl/gcc43-fortran-4.3.1_20080507-6.1.ppc.html?hl=en&cs=gcc43-fortran:PR:0:0:0:0:0:8231772
here].
Other versions (>4.3.x) should IMHO also work, or grab the sources and
build it yourself... ;-)
