to install an Amiga cross-compiler in a Linux distribution, there are instructions at
http://utilitybase.com/article/show/2007/06/23/231/Installing+an+AmigaOS+4+cross+compiler
a more Mac-oriented article [though of potentially general utility] is at

cross-compile additional libs/tools
SDK

newlib
http://sources.redhat.com/newlib/
clib2
http://sourceforge.net/projects/clib2/
ixemul
http://strohmayer.org/sfs/
libnix
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libnix/
though newlib / clib2 are apparently already included in the ppc-amigaos-gcc tarball
lha utility is debian package lha
then install linked libs in the correct place
[normally /usr/local/amiga]
so
sudo chmod --recursive 775 /usr/local/amiga
sudo chmod --recursive +s /usr/local/amiga
sudo chown --recursive `whoami` /usr/local/amiga
sudo chgrp --recursive root /usr/local/amiga
[mkdir /usr/local/amiga/include]
[may need to set ppc-amigaos-gcc libpaths]
zlib
download tarball from project homepage, untar in a storage directory /
download source from your distribution's repository [zlib1g in Ubuntu]
[cd to top-level directory of zlib containing configure script]
CC=ppc-amigaos-gcc AR=ppc-amigaos-ar RANLIB=ppc-amigaos-ranlib \
CFLAGS="-DNO_FSEEKO" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amiga
make
make install
regex [pre-compiled]
http://aminet.net/dev/lib/libregex-4.4.3.lha
libcurl
download the tarball from the project's homepage, untar in a storage directory /
download source from your distribution's repository
cd into the directory containing the configure file
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amiga --host=ppc-amigaos
$ make
[you MUST have either POSIX or glibc strerror_r if strerror_r is found]
$ make install
