It fucking does. Y'all don't give @davejmurphy enough credit, as far as I can tell devkitppc is the last maintained open source ppc toolchain left and it was for console hacking memes.https://twitter.com/hedgeberg/status/1012226738267545600 …

We mostly kept them around as backup devices, just in case. They've mostly been gathering dust. That said it's certainly... Unfortunate to have to toss them out, there's quite a lot of childhood memories of me using the MacFan (dutch apple magazine) to install software on them.
Debian supported those until Debian Jessie (Stretch dropped ppc32 support); I have a debian install on my PPC Mac Mini. I'm sure you can still run fully up to date Gentoo if you want.

I don't think devkitPPC has anything to do with this though; it's a cross-compiler, and it's not intended for Mac OS software (which uses totally different formats etc) and for Linux you'd want another toolchain. I can't think of any use case where it would be useful for old Macs

You could entertain yourself writing baremetal code for old Macs :p
