Apple gcc 4.0 does not work with Mercury. Users of Mac OS X 10.4 should
note that this version of gcc is the default one on their systems.
You can use the gcc_select command to select which version of the gcc
is the default gcc. Alternatively it is probably easier to point Mercury to
the actual correct version via the `--with-cc' option to configure. e.g.
./configure --with-cc=/usr/bin/gcc-3.3
(/usr/bin/gcc is a symbolic link to the actual version; gcc_select just
changes what the link currently points to.)
If you are using an Apple build of gcc then you must use the gcc_select
command to set the system's default gcc to that version of gcc. It is not
sufficient to just point Mercury to a version of gcc using the configure
script's `--with-cc' option. This restriction applies only to the builds
