Comment(by jeremyw.sherman):
I am sure that /Developer/usr/bin/gcc did not exist. I have different
versions of Xcode installed in /Xcode_3_2_6 and /Xcode_4_2, but no version
installed in /Developer. Just so it would build, I ran `sudo ln -s
/Xcode_4_2 /Developer`, and it successfully built after that.
My `PATH` does not include any /Developer or /Xcode* directory. I also do
not have `CC` set in my shell environment variables.
I tried using --with-gcc and --with-cc to give it the correct compiler,
and it ignored me and tried to use the /Developer one. Based on your
comment, the issue there looks to have been that I did not use an equals
sign between the option and argument, that is, I wrote
`--with-gcc /Xcode_4_2/usr/bin/clang`
instead of
`--with-gcc=/Xcode_4_2/usr/bin/clang`
All I can think is that it had to have been somehow hardcoded to look in
/Developer, since that's the default install location for Xcode. Xcode
also installs the build tools under /usr/bin, no matter what directory
Xcode itself was installed to, so that path is more reliable.
