How about Paul Guyot's `toolserver` <http://www.kallisys.com/>? While
his site really only has brief descriptions and download links
anymore, the description on MacUpdate
<https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15387/toolserver(1)> is as follows:

    "toolserver(1) is a command line program to invokeToolServer and
to execute MPW tools.

    For example, thanks to toolserver(1), you can use PowerPC and 68K
MPW C/C++ compilers with GNU Make or Xcode. You can also use GNU Make
to compile native code of Newton packages, such as LPR Driver.

    [...]

    REQUIREMENTS
    PPC, Mac OS 9.2.2 or later, CarbonLib, MPW with ToolServer. Source
code can be compiled with Xcode (I used v2.0)"

It was originally written for Mac OS X on PPC with a Classic
environment, but maybe there's some way to patch it to work with other
emulation environments.
