I’m trying to get B2G built, and one of the steps on OS X is to install gcc (this install is all automated in the bootstrap script).
I am on a (relatively) clean install of Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately during the bootstrap, installation of the gcc dependency mpfr fails:
clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
clang: error: linker command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: *** [libmpfr.la] Error 254
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

This link will help resolve the above errors:

Reading through the checklist didn’t help much, and googling for clang segmentation faults wasn’t much help either.
From Get Mountain Lion and Homebrew Happy, I read that forcibly saying where your Xcode install is would assist:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
… but this does not fix it. I also noted the option to force gcc use instead of llvm, so I tried:
brew install mpfr –use-gcc
This worked, and allowed mpfr to build and install.
I was then able to complete the gcc install:
brew install gcc-4.6
… and I’m now apparently good to go:
./bootstrap-mac.sh

Congratulations, you are now ready to start building Boot2Gecko!
For more details, see our documentation:https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/Preparing_for_your_first_B2G_build
I’ve updated the Mozilla wiki page with this hack accordingly. I now need to figure out if it’s appropriate to add it to the bootstrap script…
Onward and upward!
