Frank's diffs are at ftp://wh58-508.st.uni-magdeburg.de/pub/mint/programming/diffs/

I've set one up on a Linux/PPC system, it shouldn't really be any
difference. You will need binutils, gcc and mintlib sources, along
with the diffs found at the FTP site above.

I don't remember exactly how I did it, but there should be docs,
either in the gcc source package, or you could probably find some
howto's on the web.

I first compiled the binutils, configured with "./configure
--target=m68k-mint --prefix=/somewhere". Then I think I copied the mintlib header files
into /somewhere/include, and then compiled gcc with the same configure 
arguments as above.

Something like that..
