Replying to [comment:96 kcrisman]:
> Yeah, I really don't see the need to build gcc on older Mac platforms at
all. This unnecessarily complicates things. I understand if this is
necessary for Lion, but might as well stick with what works for the
others.
We need to build GCC to have Fortran. Or we have to ship Fortran sources
'''and''' binaries which makes no sense at all.
You could argue that we shouldn't use the `gcc` that we built. But I
would expect gcc-4.6.3 to be better than Apple's gcc-4.0.1 (even though it
contains bugs).
