As previously discussed on dev-platform, we have switched to use the
Clang compiler to do OS X builds by default now on mozilla-central.
We're hoping to release Firefox 17 on OS X using Clang, but we're also
planning to maintain gcc 4.2 compatibility in Gecko 17, in case
something goes wrong and we have to switch our builds to gcc again.
Therefore, I have set up the Birch project branch to perform gcc 4.2
builds for all pushes to mozilla-central. Patches which break gcc 4.2
builds or tests will be backed out for the duration of Gecko 17 development.
Cheers,
Ehsan
