I understand a number of people have had a similar problem and I have tried many of the suggestions posted on stackoverflow and elsewhere (including: Can't install Ruby under Lion with RVM – GCC issues). Been at it for a long time (I am a novice).
I have gcc-4.2. I used osx-gcc-installer to get 4.2.
zach$ find /usr/bin -name "*gcc *"

/usr/bin/i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2
/usr/bin/llvm-gcc
/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2
I have tried: CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.2 rvm install 1.9.3 --enable-shared and rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang.
