I have been doing personal builds with -mcpu=970 on a Yikes (ppc7400) machine with optimizations derived from powerbook's, Drumsticks, or nonsuch's mozconfigs on Panther (10.3.9). I have to tweak "-O3" to "-O3 -fno-inline-functions" ... this is the one change that is mandatory to get a successful build.
I think it is possible to build for a different platform (just like cross-compiling) ... but I don't have the capability to test operation on a G5. Most of them run on my G4 "Yikes" though.
It could be that gcc 3.3 is just less picky on my Yikes.
