Comment (by ryandesign):

 The mesa port correctly indicates that it cannot build with gcc-4.2 and
 others:
 {{{
 compiler.blacklist gcc-3.3 gcc-4.0 gcc-4.2 llvm-gcc-4.2 {clang < 800}
 }}}
 MacPorts then chooses another suitable compiler. I guess the MacPorts base
 list of fallback compilers has apple-gcc42 before gcc7. That could of
 course be changed. But why should it be? Why is it a problem that mesa
 builds with apple-gcc42?

 > As I understand, the only use of apple-gcc42 should be to replace
 default Xcode compiler on Tiger.

 What makes you say that? That is certainly one of its uses but why does
 that need to be its only use?
