But that version does not work on Mac OS X, right? For all Apple- 
supplied GCC tools, I bet you will always find "Apple Computer" or  
even just 'darwin' in it:

     howes% gcc --version
     powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer,  
Inc. build 5367)
     Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.   
There is NO
     warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
