4.1 is the last Xcode to provide gcc-4.2.  In principle firefox8 could 
use BuildDepends: gcc4.2 on 10.7, unless Stefan was able to get it to 
build with clang from Xcode 4.2, in which case it could have 
BuildDepends (clang <=3.0).

Installing Xcode-not-4.3 on top of an Xcode 4.3 install overwrites all 
of the developer tools in /usr, so you will need to reinstall the 
Command-Line tools package. You would also need to run

sudo xcode-select -switch /Developer

to make sure everything is pointed correctly.
