since the gcc symlink issue is present on any default macos installs with xcode 4.2 or higher, most users ( including myself ) may not understand that the issue isn't with something that they have done, but simply with the default macos xcode instillation. providing a bit of clarification that the issue is present on xcode installations would be likely to help a lot of new users with the instillation process.

Can you include some logs or link to a CocoaPods issue about this? I don't understand why gcc is important

cocoapods won't build without it, it'll throw the error The compiler failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError)You have to install development tools first.

i can get the rest of the logs later, my mac is currently under maintenance.

i don't have a working copy of macos anymore, so i'm not really able to conduct further testing for now, sorry
