On OS X 10.8.2 using Xcode Version 4.6 (4H127) emacs 24.3 rc1 stops building when dumping emacs:

Writing LC_LOAD_DYLIB     command
Writing LC_FUNCTION_STARTS command
Writing LC_DYLIB_CODE_SIGN_DRS command
unexec: not enough room for load commands for new __DATA segments
make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2

Before making a second time I tried make bootstrap-clean and autogen.sh; the same thing happened.

Just to say that it's not quite as bad as your subject line suggests. :)
It does build on Mac OS X, eg see http://emacsformacosx.com/builds .

There are known problems with certain compilers (?)
http://debbugs.gnu.org/9927

It is unlikely these will be fixed for 24.3 at this stage.

Maybe someone could summarize what works and what doesn't?

Anyone?

Is it a case of needing to use stock gcc rather than Apple's version, or
certain versions of gcc, or something else...?

I use ./configure and make and it builds just fine.

OS X: 10.8.2; I have xcode 4.5.2 and its command-line-tools installed.

Hello.

I have not had problems building with gcc or clang.
The reports I've seen seems to use a newer Gcc than OSX has (4.2).

This is very odd.  I have the same setup and tried again with rc2.  The first time while dumping emacs I got the same error that I originally reported.  I did a make distclean and tried again.  Worked fine.
