How can I develop software for a PowerPC? (reddthat.com)

Does anyone know how I can cross-compile software for a 1999 iMac G3 with a PowerPC processor? Are there resources on how to develop for this CPU and is there any community around it?

That's cool that Linux can be put on this machine! I plan on preserving the original OS though.
