Hi there - also stumbled on this randomly, and it was useful to me to quickly get some tools installed (and in a way I can easily remove as well) so thanks for your efforts and making them public, even if it's just a personal project!

You might want to link check out and link to the Pkgsrc from the NetBSD guys as well. While PowerPC machines are not officially supported, it wasn't very hard to get the current checkout of Pkgsrc bootstrapped on a 10.4 system, and I've built a number of packages. You have a neat project here and I don't want to detract from it, but you might want to take a look at pkgsrc... IMO it's more easily hackable than Brew (to me at least), and maybe even your tool. If something goes wrong, you can try to fix it, and then resume your build with env NOCLEAN=1 bmake install, repeating as necessary. Successful builds automatically build reusable binary packages as well, so if you don't mind fixing things yourself, it's great.

I also wanted to mention that I tried to use your GCC 10.3 and I wasn't successful - I'm not at the machine now, but it was failing with an invalid argument passed to the assembler or linker. Everything else seemed fine. Not sure if that's known, or was something I did. I didn't investigate much since I didn't really need it.
