 Replying to [comment:1 jeremyhu@…]:
 > apple-gcc40 is not a valid option for configure.compiler when using C++

 Ok, I didn't know; hadn't gotten around to trying to install apple-gcc40
 yet. I'm not aware of anyone needing apple-gcc40 anyway.

 Mostly I just wanted the apple-gcc42 configure.cxx problem documented in a
 ticket, so it could be closed with the correct milestone and we wouldn't
 forget to put it in the changelog.

 > What do you propose setting it to?  How about:

 Setting unavailable compilers to false might be helpful...

 I'm slightly worried because I know from recent experience that a libtool
 bug makes it fail to make dylibs when a fortran compiler is found but
 doesn't work (as would be the case for "false"). But I'm going to work
 around that in the libtool port, and if any other ports that have embedded
 libtools have the problem, we can deal with it then. Silently using
 whatever the default compiler is is probably the worse option.
