what version of gcc do you use? Some versions need the patched ObjC 
library installed.

depending on the version of Mac OS you have, you should be able to mount 
UFS patitions (Mac OS 9 does so, but I don't know if it runs on your 
machine, it must be pretty old, otherwise you would not use MkLinux but 
some sort of Linux/PPC) But you could also try some sort of Windows type 
partition (FAT), should be supported by both Mac OS and Linux
