 Compiling coreutils on Mac OS X (Lion) fails with the infamous "Undefined
 symbols for architecture x86_64" error, see #32123, #33407. Unfortunately
 forcing a different compiler (as suggested in the tickets and in the
 [wiki:ProblemHotlist#compiler documentation] did not help here.

 {{{
 $ port clean coreutils
 $ port install apple-gcc42
 $ port install coreutils configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2
 configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2
 }}}

 From the main.log:

 {{{
 [...]
 :info:build   CC     su.o
 :info:build   AR     libver.a
 :info:build   CCLD   chroot
 :info:build ld: warning: ignoring file libver.a, file was built for
 archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)
 :info:build ld: warning: ignoring file ../lib/libcoreutils.a, file was
 built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)
 :info:build Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
 :info:build   "_xstrdup", referenced from:
 :info:build       _set_additional_groups in chroot.o
 }}}

 Setting configure.compiler to "llvm-gcc-4.2" or "gcc-4.2" did not help,
 although one could see in the buildlog that the setting was honored and
 llvm-gcc-4.2 resp. gcc-4.2 (resp. apple-gcc42) was used.

 {{{
