gcc is the system compiler on OS X. :)

there are glibc ports for powerpc-linux and to *BSD (see debian/K*BSD
projects). I guess a clever combination of things from one place with
things from another (Darwin is mildly FreeBSD based, it's largely based
on lots of clever use of spit and glue;) would get you a long way ahead.
