[issue19019] Investigate using Apple clang for building OS X installers

Ned Deily added the comment: As of 3.6.5, 2.7.15, and the upcoming 3.7.0. the macOS installers now build with a generic 'gcc' specified, rather than the somewhat confusing 'gcc-4.2' and we also provide a new 10.9+ 64-bit-only installer variant that is built with clang. So I think we can fina

Andrew Barnert added the comment: Now that Xcode 5 is out, and does not have anything named "gcc-4.2" (it _does_ still have something called "gcc", which is now a wrapper around clang instead of a wrapper around llvm-gcc-4.2), this seems a lot more critical, because (as far as I can tell) nobo
