This says you are missing a couple of librariers.
You don't have ffcall, libxml and ssl.

I'm not sure about this one, but it seems another compiler error. I haven't had 
the time to test gcc 2.95.3. I know compilers older then 2.95.2 give problems 
and snapshots of the gcc 3.0 give problems, so it might be related to that.
These compiler tests where done on an Intel platform so I have do idea how they 
relate to the PPC.
Do you have the time to test it with gcc 2.95.2 ?

It isn't much, but maybe something to help you in the right direction.
