I tried GCC 4.7 (via MacPorts) to build Qt 5 a couple of months ago and 
it didn't go well. Mainly some Apple-ism in the system headers and 
compiler flags. Basically building GUI apps with non-Apple GCC can be 
really trying.

On the other hand, non-Apple Clang 3.1 (again via MacPorts) with the new 
macx-clang-libc++ mkspec in Qt 5 works really well. MacPorts Clang 
doesn't have the 10.7 minimum requirement when using -stdlib=libc++ flag.

Now I don't know if the same applies to Qt 4.8 but MacPorts Clang should 
make it a bit easier.
