Comment:

 Apple will never ship a version of GCC newer than 4.2.1 because GCC
 changed its license to GPL 3 and Apple does not like that license. As of
 Xcode 4.2, there is no GCC in Xcode; with Xcode 4.0 and 4.1 we use llvm-
 gcc-4.2 instead of GCC; in Xcode 4.2 we use clang.

 In other ports that use lots of memory like this at compile time, I've
 simply disabled the parallel build. See #29547. We could potentially
 revisit whether we should only do that when the compiler is GCC.
