Comment:

 Not so fast, please.

 I already discovered a project that enables me to use the Apple driver-
 driver with gcc 4.7 . Trying to build WebKit using that I discovered that
 the missing Xcode headermap support is a problem that already forced me tp
 do heavy changes to the Xcode project files and MANY header files.
 After some hours of doing that header stuff and fixing Objective-C/C++
 issues I managed to build whole WebKit. Trying to get it working lead me
 to the conclusion that gcc's OS X ObjC/C++ support while sufficient for
 firefox is far from being decent and good enough for building a complex
 AppKit/Cocoa based framework like WebKit - leaving me with gcc 4.2 as the
 only possible production quality compiler for that purpose.

 An updated gcc 4.2 is still needed for complex ObjC/C++ projects.
