Geoffrey,
How did you install fink on these machines? Was it done using the
recommended clean bootstrap on either MacOS X 10.7 or 10.8 or did you do
the unsupported upgrade from x86_64 10.6 fink? If you did the latter, I
would definitely try moving aside your fink %p fink directory and do the
proper clean bootstrap from the most current fink sources as described at...
http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php
Followed by...
fink selfupdate-cvs
fink update-all
I would also move aside /usr/local and /opt/local for good measure before
trying...
fink install gcc49
under the clean bootstrapped fink.
Jack
ps If this fails, you might even consider a reinstallation of Mountain Lion
and Xcode. We have had no other reports remotely similar to yours so there
appears to be some systematic problem across your machines related to how
either the OS or fink has been upgraded.
