I've fixed the issues I found.

And lilypond's
input/regression/time-signature-numbered.ly
input/regression/time-signature-single-digit.ly
\version issue has also been fixed.

Therefore, in this branch,
https://github.com/trueroad/gub/tree/gcc-4.9
I've succeed GUB's ``make lilypond''.
All lilypond installers have been built by gcc-4.9.2.

In darwin-x86 (Intel Mac):
lilypond installer and lilypond work fine.
Correct PDF is generated.

In darwin-ppc (PowerPC Mac):
I can't prepare PowerPC Mac. Therefore, it is untested.
It would be necessary to wait for user feedback
from testers who have a PowerPC Mac, as you say.

In other environments
(mingw (Windows), linux-64, linux-x86, linux-ppc, freebsd-64, freebsd-x86):
I've tested lilypond installer and lilypond, again. Then, they work fine.
Correct PDF is generated.

It should be noted that, in order to build on the branch,
it is necessary to the new freebsd-runtime file.
https://github.com/trueroad/gub/commit/d402f1f437dc646facfb8f54db49ee0546f7d83f

The file can be made by the following information.
https://github.com/trueroad/gub/blob/d402f1f437dc646facfb8f54db49ee0546f7d83f/gub/freebsd.py#L28
Or I may mail the file.

In addition, my GUB environment is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit.
