Comment:

 That's correct. There's no plan to change this. apple-gcc42 is ancient. If
 you need it, use an ancient version of Mac OS X that it runs on.

 The virtualbox port needs to be updated so that it works with newer
 compilers and no longer requires apple-gcc42. There are existing tickets
 about that.
