How can I develop software for a PowerPC? (infosec.pub)

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?

The Yocto project supports PowerPC as a compilation option so you could build a lightweight distribution from source that way
