#64783: mesa asks for apple-gcc42 on Leopard

Component:  ports             |    Version:  2.7.1
 Keywords:  powerpc, leopard  |       Port:  mesa
------------------------------+--------------------
 I have seen in the portfile that `gcc-4.2` fails to build `mesa` while
 `apple-gcc42` builds it, however there is no point to ''require'' the
 latter on Leopard when `macports-gcc-7` is available. As I understand, the
 only use of `apple-gcc42` should be to replace default Xcode compiler on
 Tiger.

 This is what I got on Leopard:

 {{{
 36-72:files svacchanda$ sudo port -v -n install mesa
 Password:
 --->  Computing dependencies for mesa..
 The following dependencies will be installed:  apple-gcc42
 Continue? [Y/n]: n
 }}}

 `mesa` builds normally for ppc with gcc7:

 {{{
 36-72:files svacchanda$ port -v installed mesa
 The following ports are currently installed:
   mesa @17.1.6_2+osmesa+python27 (active) requested_variants=''
 platform='darwin 9' archs='ppc' date='2022-03-08T05:32:47+0800'
 }}}
