Script to download and build gcc 4.7 and its dependencies on mac - it took about 40 minutes on my machine (and the "make check" in the gcc build failed for lack of an "autogen" script"), but the compiler seems to work.

build_gcc_4.7.2_on_mac.sh

#!/bin/sh
# warning may need updating
# You might want to modify the first line to specify your own install location.
#    In theory the rest should not need tweaking...
export GCC_PREFIX="$HOME/gcc4.7"

# Hopefully, you can tweak these as they get out of date, but the download URL's
#      may not be stable to text substitution.
GMP_DOWNLOAD_VERSION=gmp-5.0.5
MPFR_DOWNLOAD_VERSION=mpfr-3.1.1

# Downloads, builds, then install gmp, mpfr, mpc, and gcc 4.7 to GCC_PREFIX
