The 3rd line of the "manual build" section is quite clear what version to use, and provides you links to make sure you use them:
"ARM (arm-elf) 2.16.1 (download, mirrors, info) 4.0.3 (download, mirrors, info)"
Not to mention the rather obvious file names "rockbox-multilibs-arm-elf-gcc-4.0.3.diff".

This is for the compiler to build (i.e. the version of gcc for cross compiling), not the version of gcc to build the cross compiler.
sudoman:
could this be the answer:?

I was able to successfully build the cross compiler under OS X 10.5 on an Intel platform, and it's still working even after an upgrade to 10.6. I wasn't, however, successful in getting the cross compiler to build in OS X 10.5.8 on a PowerPC platform. The errors I got are the same as sudoman's original post. My machine is a PowerPC 970fx (G5).
sudoman:
yeah, i'm on a PPC G4.
Edit: I tried installing a binary copy of gcc 4.2.1 using fink. even trying to compile the cross-compiler with this version of gcc failed.
I've managed to submit a patch without having to test it so i don't really need the cross-compiler anymore. no need to sweat it. thanks. :)
