 My understanding is that there is no GCC 4.3.3 for OS X.  There's only
 4.2.x and 4.0.x, as provided by Apple.    I don't think Apple has ported
 GCC > 4.2 to OS X yet.

 I think effort would be better spent making {{{export SPKG_CHECK="yes"}}}
 fully work; then we would always do test builds of Sage with that flag
 set, and hence run all tests.
