[issue19019] Investigate using Apple clang for building OS X installers

[Andrew Barnert]

Andrew Barnert added the comment:

Now that Xcode 5 is out, and does not have anything named "gcc-4.2" (it _does_ still have something called "gcc", which is now a wrapper around clang instead of a wrapper around llvm-gcc-4.2), this seems a lot more critical, because (as far as I can tell) nobody with Xcode 5 can build C extensions for python.org Python installations.

And that also implies that any changes need to be backported to 2.7 and 3.3, unless the plan is that only Python 3.4+ should work with Xcode 5.
