I believe the ports below depend on gcc40 rather than /usr/bin/gcc because they require a fortran compiler.

I think that every port that depends on any version of gcc 4 in 10.4 should be tested against the version of gcc 4 that is bundled with XCode. If that works, then make building against our gcc 4 a 10.3-only requirement.

Now that gcc42 is a final release, what should be done with all the ports that depend on gcc41? Should they be updated to require gcc42 instead? It's not very many ports:

devel/lua-numlua
gnustep/gnustep-base
gnustep/gnustep-make
lang/ftidy
python/py-numpy/Portfile
textproc/pdftk

There are also a few still using gcc40:

lang/ftidy
math/GiNaC
math/R
math/fftw-3-single
math/fftw-3
math/nestedsums
math/octave-forge
math/octave
science/libnc-dap
science/xloops
www/varnish
x11/fluxbox

Assuming gcc42 is capable of building each of the above ports, and that the port authors update these ports to use gcc42, is there a need to keep these old versions of gcc around? It's annoying enough for the user to have to spend a couple hours on an Intel Mac, or many many hours on a slower PowerPC, to compile a single version of gcc. It would be even more annoying if the user wanted to use various different ports, each of which required a different version of gcc.
