[R-SIG-Mac] gcc 4.0.0 apple build 5018 with gfortran

[Thomas Adams]

Thanks for the clarification, esp. as it relates to package sources.  
So, would re-installing the previous version of Xcode be the way to  
go, or just gcc 3.3? G5 optimizations & 64-bit codes are not an issue  
for me at this point.

Regards,
Tom
