Forcing macport GCC 7 completes the build. I didn't check other compilers, maybe we can just blacklist apple 4.2 ? I hope there are no circular deps.

I see in the log that it is linking with /usr/lib/libffi.dylib. Unsure why it isn't using MacPorts libffi which presumably is the one that has the missing symbols.

Just a comment that this issue is still actual on 10.5 x86_64. I tried humble gcc 4.8 instead of apple gcc 4.2 and worked.

Perhaps it is really a MP vs. Apple compiler issue? don't know.
