Hi,

Earlier today I was arguing that we need to support Xcode 4.x, etc.,
in the context of the PARI bugs.

I'm sitting here with a grad student with a solid Mac running OS X
10.6.8, and trying to get XCode 3.x on it is HELL.
None of our Apple ID's work for the Developer network, etc.  We can't
find a download.  Anyway, it is frustrating.
The App store only supports 4.x.

I'm just curious if anybody has looked into the possibility of us
distributing our own build of GCC, which is good enough to build Sage
and use Cython.

Incidentally, the only reason he needs XCode is because our "sage -b"
build system is really stupid.  If you do

   "sage -b"

and don't have a compiler, it will die, even if you aren't doing
anything with Cython.  He just wants to write some .py files.
