In reply to Nick B.. the NeXT naming standards of other people's software was always super confusing. I'm not enjoying windows 11's ui but Win32/Win64+Linux+GPU is great it just works!

Snow Leopard was where the Mac experience ended for me. My MBP was EOL after that, I replaced it with a Samsung W8 laptop which has outlasted the MBP. Fortunately I can still access all my backups as Linux will read the (HFS?) filesystem.
I found gcc_os-1819.tar.gz in my downloads as well as gcc_os-1823.tar.gz. It looks like they are both releases of gcc 3.3.

In reply to Nick B.. wow pemu, good times. well not really I never did like the cisco PIX/ASA. The Juniper stuff is WAAAY easier to deal with. I kind of tuned out of Mac OS X once Tiger went GA, I think coming back for Snow Leopard. and kinda not interested in Lion until Mojave.

I have recollections of trying to build GCC 3.x under Tiger around 2009 and the archive you referenced looks familiar. I wanted to build the PIX emulator pemu, which was basically a hacked version of Qemu, but eventually I ended up running it on a XP netbook.
