Garth,

Here's more progress: now FEniCS builds. I have to build quite a bit with
GCC 4.8; I've attached the local.platform file I've been using, which is by
no means minimal. There are a few Dorsal packages for which I've written
custom package files, and I've updated 8 or 9 more. Once I figure all of
this out, I'll submit pull requests to upstream.

I figured out that GCC 4.8 is used consistently, provided I make sure to
clean up previous builds by deleting the FEniCS build directory. The only
other exception is PETSc, which still uses Clang++ for some reason, and
I'll have to figure that out later.

Now, when I run demo_poisson.py, I get the following run-time error:

ratatoskr:~ goxberry$ env CXX=g++-4.8 python
FEniCS/src/dolfin/demo/documented/poisson/python/demo_poisson.py

The Dorsal platform file is attached; of particular note is that I build a
Python 2.7.2 interpreter through Dorsal (the python-osx package is a minor
hack that sets PYTHON_LIBRARY to have a .dylib extension instead of an .so
extension). Any ideas of what I may want to look at for debugging?

Cheers,

Geoff
