I've tried to recompile these files on my OS-X 10.5 iMac(intel) from
the source, but have several issues. (i.e. It is K&R C and needs gcc

original *.a file (ppc assembly) into something that the XCode project
can accept.

Not unless you're an expert at both PPC and X86 assembly language and can translate between the two, and you have memorized all applicable ABIs.


Does any program exist to do this transcoding.  What the the best ways
to proceed? I can give more detail on the project setup.

The best way to proceed is to get your old source code off of GCC 3.3 and rewrite it so that it can be read by newer compilers. Your code must be able to build in at least GCC 4.0 if you want to build for any architecture other than PPC32.
