Following the Building guide for MAC, I need help.
My gcc version is 4.2, and the configure script outputs a warning that it
needs 4.0.
Is it a blocker? Do I need to install another gcc?

GCC 4.2 on Mac means that you are probably using XCode4. Building our
official releases still requires XCode3 with its gcc4.0. If installing
the older XCode3 with the OSX10.4 SDK is possible for you then this
would be the fastest solution to get a build.
We/Me are working on supporting newer MacOSX build environments. If you
are adventurous you might want to try out my "rejuventate01" branch [1].
As you saw the build requirements for our current OSX release are so
ancient that there are very few developers left with such an old
environment. The rejuvenation of the OSX platform support is really
needed. Be warned: The branch is experimental, unfinished and has some
rough edges. It already produces quite usable binaries [2]. Having other
developers work on the branch too would be great. I hope I'll find the
time to get back into it again soon.

If you're interested I suggest to check this branch out, set the
environment variables
CC=`xcrun -f clang` -arch x86_64
CXX=`xcrun -f clang++` -arch x86_64
and then continue with [3]

Guide I'm following step-by-step:

I'd be glad if someone can be a guide on the build process, because I'm a
bit lost from the autoconf step onwards.
The building guide is good. I updated it to make the XCode3/SDK10.4
requirement more prominent.
