"gcc_version" should perhaps be reconsidered, especially now, when Apple is moving away from using gcc at all. In MacPorts 2.0, the default compiler is chosen based not on OS version but Xcode version, so for Snow Leopard with Xcode 4, the default compiler will not be gcc but llvm-gcc. With Lion, it'll be llvm-gcc or clang. We might well want to know the version of llvm-gcc or clang, but it would be odd to see it in a field called "gcc_version".

What version of gcc the user has selected should be irrelevant except for ports which don't ensure they're UsingTheRightCompiler.
