Regarding GCC support and optimization for the PPC architecture, it is worth noting that Apple use GCC for MaxOS X development, and so do have an interest in GCC being optimized for PPC. They also do fold their changes back into the main tree.
(It is also worth noting that Apple's Mr. C compiler was and still may be one of the best C compilers you could get for the PPC architecture. So Apple is not exactly short on compilation talent.)
