apple-gcc42 fails to build

[Thomas Ruedas]

Hi,
in the process of trying to upgrade Gnuplot via Macports (v.2.3.3), a 
long, long list of other packages needed to be (re)built as well, among 
them apple-gcc42. That build fails after some time; the last part of the 
logfile, which seems to contain the information pertaining to the 
problem is included below. The system is a MacBook Pro (Intel) running 
10.5.8, and I do have the Xcode version recommended for my system 
(v.3.1) installed.
It seems that build problems with apple-gcc42 have arisen before, but 
what I found on the web was old and related to outdated versions of 
Macports, so I couldn't find something that seems to apply to this. Any 
ideas?
Thanks,
Thomas
