[flext] how to force the use of gcc 4.2 ?

[Stefano Papetti]

Hi Joseph,

I used to experienced a similar problem some time ago on 10.5, and in 
the end I found that it was just a messed up gcc installation... I 
really don't know how it happened, but reinstalling XCode+Developer 
Tools from Apple solved all my issues. BTW the latest XCode version 
available for Leopard is 3.1.4 and I remember it wasn't easy to find 
where to download it.
Also, I attach a python script that I found on the internet that allows 
to switch between gcc 4.0 and 4.2 easily.

Best,
Stefano
