Comment (by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 vince@…]:

 best move would be to install gcc45 first, then use gcc45 as a compiler to
 compile a more modern gcc using the configure.compiler inline option :

 I have installed

 {{{
   apple-gcc42 @5666.3_10 (active)
   gcc43 @4.3.6_7 (active)
   libstdcxx @4.7.2_2 (active)
 }}}

 Gcc43 seems to pretty useless, since

 {{{
 port dependents gcc43
 }}}

 reports

 {{{
 gcc43 has no dependents.
 }}}

 And since libstdcxx from GCC 4.7.2 could be built, with GCC 4.2, then I
 would prefer to install gcc47. Or even gcc48 or later…
