Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 pdftk's build process has been extremely fragile in the past, and certain
 versions of gcc seemed to work better on certain OS versions; that is why
 the port's code was written the way it was. I do not know if using gcc45
 to build pdftk on Leopard and Tiger works. I do know that on Lion and
 Mountain Lion using anything less than gcc47 seems not to work.

 If the gcc47 variant works for all users on all platforms I'd be happy to
 just leave that and remove the rest. However not too long ago it was not
 possible to build gcc47 on PowerPC; I'm not sure if that was ever fixed.
 Certainly right now would be a poor time to try to test this, since other
 problems have been introduced into the gcc4* ports in the past few days
 that need to be ironed out first, before I go spending days of CPU time
 trying to compile the gcc4* updates on my Power Mac.
