I have made a spkg for GCC (GNU compiler collection) version 4.6.3 with
compilers for C, C++ and Fortran.  We don't always build GCC, by default
only on systems where this is needed or which have an old GCC version.

The main motivation for this ticket was to make Sage work on OS X 10.7.
 But I think that having a GCC spkg is good for porting in general.  It
should also slightly increase Sage run-time performance for people with
older compilers.  The review of this package should not focus on OS X 10.7.

To make reviewing this ticket more easy, I have made some testing
releases, see the ticket #12369 for details.  As far as I know, on every
system on which sage-5.0.beta7 vanilla works, the testing release with
GCC also works.


So please review:

Thanks,
Jeroen.
