BeOS for PowerPC didn't use GCC. It used the Metrowerks Compilers (mwcc etc). One of the reasons is because the BeOS used PEF exe format. As Apple wouldn't open that up, hardly any comilers support that format - which kills gcc on the BeOS PPC platform. This is why you're unlikely to ever see Haiku on a BeBox or any Haiku support for legacy BeOS PPC apps. I hacked together a MWOB decompiler back in the day and re-implemented it as a fun little project last year. It's on my GitHub [1] is anyone cares. I will some day get an assembler working and outputting MWOB files. Probably. There's some other BeOS stuff kicking about, including an input driver for using gesture based writing [2]. I was writing this for BeIA, as at the time I has one of the Dt300 web pads running BeIA 1.0. There was a crappy UI toolkit wrapper we were using for Free Pascal too [3]. The latter included "fdb", which was a cool little BMessage based debugger tool. I wrote is as a throw away, bit some one once told me it was their daily driver at one point for debugging apps on end user machines.
