Comment(by kjell.konis@…):

 When the R port is built as a framework it links against the
 CoreFoundation framework. The whole reason for using the macports-llvm-
 gcc-4.2 compilers is that they (1) are supposed to binary compatible with
 Apple's Xcode provided compilers and (2) they include compilers for
 Fortran, C, C++ and Objective C (I am not a fan of mixing and match
 different compilers/versions). The last time (a long time ago) I tried to
 use the gcc compilers to build R-framework was with macports gcc 4.2 on
 Tiger and then any R package that used C++ iostream caused R to segfault.
 Anyway, my Hello World C++ test program runs fine with this patch so maybe
 this is no longer an issue... It would b nice if someone with more
 compiler knowledge could confirm this for me though.
