    Description

      Installed Xcode 4.5 DP in OS X 10.7.4. Ran configure and the script selected gcc instead of clang to build Qt 5.

      The code at around line 2200 tests for OS X version and with 10.7 (11) it invokes clang -v to check the version. It then only chooses clang if the major version is 3. With Xcode 4.5, the clang version is Apple's own 4.x: 

      Apple clang version 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-421.10.42) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)

      The script seems to assume Xcode 4.5 can not be installed in OS X 10.7, which is not true. Xcode 4.5 is compatible with 10.7.
