 gcc42 doesn't build on Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther with Xcode 1.5 and MacPorts
 1.7.0 on a Power Mac G4:

 This was also [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2007-June/004109.html reported on macports-users] in June 2007 where
 it was determined that a build dependency on gmake and the line
 "`build.cmd gmake`" is needed to give Panther a newer GNU make, but that
 then one runs into the error:

 {{{
 /usr/bin/libtool: unknown option character `m'
 in: -macosx_version_min
 }}}

 This sounds similar to the [ticket:18144 problem encountered building
 gcc43 on Panther].

 There was also [ticket:7167 a ticket filed] for problems building gcc42
 4.2-20060204 on Panther which was never resolved, but those errors look
 different and may have been taken care of via newer versions of gcc 4.2.
