If you have a non-Intel Mac with OSX, it's available
with the operating system.

For Cygwin I compiled my own tools (though Linux is
a better platform for the GNU tools).

I highly recommend the Microcross Visual X-Tools.  It is a complete GNU/GCC 
implementation with IDE and GDB implementation.  Not free, but it could be a 
lot easier than putting together your own.

DISCLAIMER:  In all fairness I must say that we are a Microcross partner.

<http://www.macraigor.com/full_gnu.htm> is one full distribution. But
as a rule I build it myself.

Could somebody provide me with info where to get GNU compiler for
Cygwin for PowerPC target? What's usual practice? Do I need to download
source and compile it myself? Or is such compiler standard part of
binary free distribution? Thanks.
