Recipe for repair: 1. Have a copy of XCode 4.6.3 on backup (I think it might fit on a DVD, just to be extra careful).
2. Installing the tools seems to burn a particular path into their tiny pea brain, so in the end you will need to call XCode 4.6.3 "XCode.app", if that is its old name, because I cannot figure out how to convince XCode that it should re-install tools. This may require moving the upgraded XCode.app to XCode5.0.app. 3. "sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/XCode.app" did NOT put the tools (/usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/g++) back the way they should be. Instead, it is necessary to manually remove them and recreate the symlinks, like so: sudo bash cd /usr/bin mkdir xxx mv gcc xxx mv g++ xxx ln -s ../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 gcc ln -s ../llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/llvm-g++-4.2 g++ If there's no /usr/llvm-gcc-4.2, that's a problem I didn't have. This succeeded -- it configured properly (fastdebug), built, and the resulting java (built minutes ago) successfully ran.
