For me brew install apple-gcc42 fails with

apple-gcc42: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS
versions newer than Mavericks due to an upstream incompatibility.

So I installed ruby 1.8.7-p375 with Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42) instead, but now am getting nasty segfaults whenever gem install attempts to compile native extensions. Any pointers on how to install actual GCC 4.2 on Sierra?

[Update]: I was able to compile both Ruby 1.8.7-p375 and Ruby Enterprise Edition 1.8.7-2012.02 with GCC 4.8 (installed via brew)
