 Replying to [comment:2 royliu@…]:

 Correct; that is what I was doing.

 Xcode 3 includes Apple gcc. If you meant that the apple-gcc42 port will
 not get installed, then you are correct; there is no reason to install the
 apple-gcc42 port with Xcode < 4.2.

 > while those that do so with Xcode 4 will succeed (patch will get
 applied, but the conditional block will execute and install Apple `gcc`).
 Working on a fix now.

 It would be great if we could excise the dozens of lines of code from the
 virtualbox configuration process that tries to determine what compiler to
 use, and just make it use the compiler MacPorts is telling it to use via
 the CC environment variable, like all other ports do.
