How about something like this as a workaround ?
(I can send a proper patch, if this is the way forward)

    config.mak.uname: Darwin: Use clang for Mac OS X 10.6

    Commit
    "tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation"
    make gcc under Mac OX 10.6 crash like this:

    CC combine-diff.o
    combine-diff.c: In function ‘diff_tree_combined’:
    combine-diff.c:1391: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

    Xcode for Mac OS X 10.6 has both gcc and clang.
    Later versions of Mac OSX/Xcode only provide clang, and gcc is a wrapper
    to it.
    Make Git compile under Mac OS X 10.6 by using clang instead of gcc
