Lacking Natural Simplicity

I have gcc from MacPorts (“gcc version 4.7.2 (MacPorts gcc47 4.7.2_2)”) installed on my laptop running Mac OS X 10.6.8, and when updated and recompiled go the tests failed in the race detector with a message about a MachO segment being missing. I put /usr/bin/gcc at the front of the path, and everything compiled tested fine.
