Hmm. Ok, I do see that the llvm-3.4 portfile does blacklist gcc 4.2 build 5577 and older (in other words, the versions of gcc 4.2 in Xcode 3.1.4 and earlier), so you're right, that won't work here. However, I don't see that same blacklist in the llvm-3.5 and llvm-3.6 portfiles. Did you get the same error for the +llvm35 or +llvm36 variants, or a different error?
