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).
