<p>Currently, during Cactus configuration without an optionlist on Mac OS, I get</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>checking for gcc-mp-4.4... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.3... no
checking for gcc-mp-4.2... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
</pre></div>
<p>I have gcc-mp-4.6, and 4.7 and 4.8 are also available in macports. The configure script should be updated to detect these versions.</p>

<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>As of git hash <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://bitbucket.org/simfactory/simfactory2/commits/768cb35744756693ee2abb38b63997dea9e59718" rel="nofollow">768cb35</a> "Addressing roland's issues on the PR." of <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://bitbucket.org/simfactory/simfactory2" rel="nofollow">simfactory2</a> simfactory’s setup command does detect gcc-N and gcc-mp-N and prefers those over plain gcc on Darwin OS (and only there).</p>
