OSX gcc binary (no Xcode)?

[cwittenb]

Although the thread is quite old, wanted to post my solution here, as
I ran about this error message today.
On my Tiger V.10.9.4 (no fink) it seems that Xcode has set gcc v.3.22
to the default.
If I set the compiler to 4.0 it seems to create the executables as requested.

In the terminal:  $ sudo gcc_select 4.0

Maybe this is still of a help to some people out there.
