As far as I know 64-bit PPC is not supported by the 10.6 SDK (Snow  
Leopard), but we are using the 10.5 SDK (Leopard).
When installing Xcode there are multiple SDKs installed.

Additionally we are using GCC 4.0 instead of 4.2, because we want to  
support Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) as minimum OS. When compiling with GCC  
4.2 the generated code is for "ppc7400" that means "G4 Macs" and  
greater; but Tiger also runs on "G3 Macs". But this may not be of much  
importance anymore.

If you look at our script you see that we're using the following  
options for bjam:

toolset=darwin-4.0: Use darwin toolset with GCC 4.0.
macosx-version=10.5: Use the 10.5 SDK.
macosx-version-min=10.4: Minimum supported OS is 10.4.
