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?

I have an old Mac Classic from 1990-1991 or so sitting in my basement collecting dust. I need to clean it up and crack it open to do a full recap soon. I’m going to grab a BlueSCSI to replace the internal hard drive with a fast SD card. These old machines absolutely FLY when you get them on solid state storage. It’s pretty amazing how nice they feel to use when everything loads instantly!
