My guess would be that it was suggested and accepted as a solution because at that time nobody was aware that gcc-4.2 is absent in Xcode. E.g. I myself tested Xcode 4.2 on 10.6 and had no reason to suspect that gcc-4.2 could be a "leftover" (I wish they would use a real package managment system for their installers... dpkg would not leave "traces" like that. Nasty). There, simple as that :). The fact that it *is* absent is extremely troubling for multiple reasons. On the one hand, the current bootstrap failure, of course (which we can and need to fix by making a new release of fink ASAP). But on the other hand, this also means that Xcode 4.2 on 10.6 now contains no reliable compiler at all :-(. Just today I wasted an hour tracking down a bug only to discover that I had recompiled some code with "gcc", which is llvm-gcc, which causes gmp 5.0.2 miscompilation, resulting in some gmp test code not terminating. Yuck. And clang miscompiles other code... Anyway, so now we can decide whether to make gcc = llvm-gcc-4.2 default, or clang... both will cause pain for some. Yuck again.
