On OS X 10.7.2, Xcode 4.2 installs two system compilers
  /usr/bin/clang
  /usr/bin/gcc -> llvm-gcc-4.2
  /usr/bin/cc -> llvm-gcc-4.2
It is the latter, because that is one gets hold of without 'export CC=...'.

I get another error with gcc (GCC) 4.7.0 (from SVN, installed in /usr/local/bin/gcc):

PASS: test-asmobs

1 of 28 tests failed

So the f-sum error seems to have to do with llvm-gcc (and possibly clang).

In both cases, the failure is
  FAIL: test-ffi
