I haven't tried this, but, you should probably get the gcc source from the
Apple CVS server?
http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin/1.3/projects.html
I heard that they were folding their Darwin modifications back into the real
gcc source, that's why gnu.org isn't shipping it yet. For now the Apple CVS
server has what there is.
For general help with Unix builds on OS X try some websites:
http://www.stepwise.com
http://www.osxtalk.com
And the Reader Report on OS X is a great thing:
http://www.macintouch.com
My experience with OS X ports stopped when I discovered they use "dylib"
shared libraries, graciously described as "antique".
Hope this helps.

But if the Darwin version of cc can be built to support the h8, you're still gonna have to (most likely) make changes to firmdl & dll programs to get them working with the Mac. Do (...)
