 I tend not to trust the results, when overriding `os.major`. And indeed,
 on my 10.5 VM, this is what I see:

 {{{
 $ port info --line --name --depends_build libpixman
 libpixman       pkgconfig,meson,ninja
 }}}

 Per the port log:

 {{{
 :debug:configure Using compiler 'Xcode GCC 4.2'
 }}}

 And the build works just fine.

 So, this doesn't necessarily appear to be an issue with GCC 4.2. Unless
 I'm missing something...?
