OK, I now have:

    $ gcc --version
    powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. 
build 5367)

I do:

    $ python setup.py build_src build_clib --fcompiler=gnu95 build_ext 
--fcompiler=gnu95 build

I (still) get:

            :
            :
    Lib/integrate/odepack/vode.f:3368: internal compiler error: tree 
check: expected ssa_name, have var_decl in verify_ssa, at tree-ssa.c:677

    error: Command "/usr/bin/gfortran -Wall -ffixed-form

    Lib/integrate/odepack/vode.f -o 
build/temp.macosx-10.4-fat-2.4/Lib/integrate/odepack/vode.o" failed with 
exit status 1

I'm fast approaching the point in time at which I could have written my 
own R-K solver; it shouldn't be this difficult (i.e., if you actually 
want to build a user base) - why is it?

PS: How do I check that my vecLib is installed/working correctly?  I 
looked for tests (locally) but couldn't find any - is there a test suite 
for it online somewhere?
