Also, with all gccXX ports linking against the same libgcc runtime, there 
should not be any incompatibility when mixing libraries between the two 
compilers.  You will run into issue when mixing C++ and ObjC code from the 
gccXX family with other compilers (as is being discussed in another thread), 
but as of a few weeks ago, there should be no reason that mixing +gcc47 and 
+gcc48 variant builds should not work.  If you just don't like having multiple 
compiler versions available, that's obviously a separate issue and hopefully 
default_variants will get updated soon =).
