I have been taking a stab at it and have run into build problems. I 
tried to compile the following packages:

1. gal-0.19
2. bonobo-conf-0.14
3. gtkhtml-1.0.1

All three packages give the me same build problems:

1. GAL:

All of these packages were configured with the fink install directory 
as a reference:
./configure --prefix=/sw --sysconfdir=/sw/etc


It looks the same problem with the pre-processor, so it probably has 
something to do with the toolchain. Does anyone have any ideas on 
what it might be? The toolchain is from the MacOS X Developer CD 
package that provides gcc-2.95.2. I have compiled a few other unix 
utilities sucessfully, so the toolchain does work on a some apps.

I also tried to build gcc-3.0.3, but I don't think 
powerpc-apple-darwin target is supported yet, since that did not 
build either.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ujwal
