When I build netcdf-fortran with macports, it actually built a gcc and gfortran
specifically for that combination.  It installed the gcc in /opt/local/bin under
several names, which were all hard links to the same executable:

  -rwxr-xr-x     3 root  admin      369328 Jul  5 14:15 gcc-mp-4.5*
  -rwxr-xr-x     3 root  admin      369328 Jul  5 14:15 
x86_64-apple-darwin12-gcc-4.5.4*
  -rwxr-xr-x     3 root  admin      369328 Jul  5 14:15 
x86_64-apple-darwin12-gcc-mp-4.5*

But there was no link named just "gcc", so no clash with other gcc's that may 
have 
been installed.
