$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) 
(LLVM build 2336.9.00)

However we still have a pure gcc compiler in gcc-4.2:

$ gcc-4.2 --version
i686-apple-darwin11-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)

I expect compiles will still work using the latter.
