Yes, we're trying to update GCC in the Darwin stdenv.  Unfortunately that turns
out to be quite hard.  Among other things, the gcc source distribution from
Darwin no longer contains libstdc++.  There are some separate libstdc++ packages
in Darwin, but it's not clear how to build them (and they mysteriously contain a
complete copy of the GCC 4.0 source tarball...).  Working on it...
