Hi all,
This is wonderful news. So great, that I tried to compile
sage-5.0beta3 on my OS X 10.7.2 laptop. Sadly, it threw an error while
attempting to compile gcc4.6.2. Hopefully someone may have more
expertise than me. Below is the bottom of the build log with the
error. I'm running XCode 4.1.
Thanks for any help!

configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot
If you google "cannot compute suffix of object files" you will get 110,000 hits.
I think the problem is often related to the fact the run-time linker can't find
the mpir of mpfr libraries. Although the configure script can find them, since
you have specified them, the linker often can't, so whilst the first stage of
gcc builds, the second stage does not.
I've tried to argue with the gcc developers that this is a bug, but they don't
seem to see it that way, and say it would be hard to fix.
You would be best to post your problem to the gcc mailing list, including the
config.log file from the directory where the failure occured. NOT the top-level
config.log, which wont have the reason for the failure
