OK, I skipped this part but now I'm stuck while compiling gcc for MiNT.
I tried once with a self compiled gcc 3.3 for the host (like it's 
descriped in the step-by-step guide) and once with apples version of 
gcc.


1) Error while "make bootstrap" for mint using self compiled GCC:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
gcc   -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_COMPILE  -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic 
-Wno-long-long   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE  -o gengenrtl \
 gengenrtl.o ../libiberty/libiberty.a
/usr/bin/ld: gengenrtl.o bad magic number (not a Mach-O file)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [gengenrtl] Error 1
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

=> The linker (it seems as if the compilation process takes apples 
linker in /usr/bin/ld) can't use the object file, as it's not a Mach 
object file.


2) Error while "make bootstrap" for mint using apples GCC:

run ranlib to add one

Any Idea?

Do I have to use a self compiled binutils package for my host 
(apple/darwin)?
