Hello,
	I am not sure what it is needed for these days, It was originally  
installed to build ports requiring a more upgraded version of gcc 4.2  
than that supported by Apple (that was a long time ago) and it has  
been maintained since? If only the development gcc 4.2.1 is used by  
MacPorts, I could probably get rid of it since I do not do much  
outside of MacPorts these days. Since I have a PowerPC G4, I do still  
need a gcc that builds to the PowerPC following Apple guidelines (some  
of which need to be changed; but, I do not know enough about gcc to  
make the changes and I would have to recompile the entire system if I  
did).
	There is already a ticket, I do not need to file a new one and can  
you post the number so that I can add myself to the notification  
should someone someday decide to fix (which includes gcc42 no longer  
being supported).
