    3 The problem is, while port `apple-gcc42` is installed (and up-to-date), `gcc7` is not. (And the latter would have to be built from source, which is a bit unsavory on an old PowerBook G4 with a single CPU core.) So it's frustrating to have a foundational port like `bison` dependent on a newer GCC, when it sounds (?) like it should be buildable on gcc 4.2...?
