I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. I've been using gcj 3.4.x on PPC 
Mac OS X 10.3 and 10.4 for over two years now on the PyLucene project. gcj 
4.1.0 can be made to work on PPC Mac OS X 10.4 when building it from 
darwinports and gcj 4.0.2 can be made to work on Intel Mac OS X 10.4 with a 
large set of patches.
Even static links of the PyLucene python extension and libgcj.a are possible 
with gcj 3.4.x provided you play tricks with force-pulling in some symbols.
