I use Mac OS, Clang, and Xcode - so far so good.

Now I want to build and test a library with GCC version 4.7.2 which I have
installed at location /usr/gcc-4.7.2/bin/g++-4.7 and I can invoke it from
the command line with

$/usr/gcc-4.7.2/bin/g++-4.7 -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=/usr/gcc-4.7.2/bin/g++-4.7
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/gcc-4.7.2/libexec/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0/4.7.2/lto-wrapper
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0
Configured with: ../configure -q --prefix=/usr/gcc-4.7.2 --enable-lto
--enable-checking=release --with-libelf=/usr/gcc-4.7.2
--with-gmp=/usr/gcc-4.7.2 --with-mpfr=/usr/gcc-4.7.2
--with-mpc=/usr/gcc-4.7.2 --with-ppl=/usr/gcc-4.7.2
--with-cloog=/usr/gcc-4.7.2 --program-suffix=-4.7 --silent
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) 

I've altered my user-config.jam so that it contains:

using darwin : 4.7 
   : /usr/gcc-4.7.2/bin/g++-4.7
;

Since things don't seem to be working I do some testing with:

$b2 --dump-tests -d2 -a toolset=darwin-4.7 cxxflags=-std=c++03 config_info
>b2.log &
which produces an output file:

$cat

    __STDC_HOSTED__                         =1

*********************************************************************

libc++ version 1101
    _LIBCPP_VERSION                         =1101

...

This suggests that my user-config and/or PATH and/or ??? needs to be tweaked
in
order to get this to work.  

Any suggestions appreciated.
