问题
Following the steps here "gem install therubyracer -v '0.10.2'" on osx mavericks not installing, I was able to get therubyracer -v 0.10.2 and 0.12.0 to install fine, but not 0.11.4.
gem install therubyracer -v 0.11.4
Returns:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing therubyracer:

I finally got therubyracer 0.11.4 to install and working using Xcode 6.1.1, 6.2 beta or 6.3 beta (I've tested all 3) and also Xcode 4.6.3 (available at: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action) then running:
# rename your current version of Xcode to make it distinguishable
sudo mv /Applications/Xcode.app /Applications/$(xcodebuild -version | head -1 | sed -e 's/ //').app
# Download and install Xcode 4.6.3 and run:
sudo mv /Applications/Xcode.app /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app
# Switch to your 4.6.3 version of Xcode
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode4.6.3.app
# Install the version of libv8 that's tied to your version of TRR:
gem install libv8 -v '3.11.8.17'
# Switch back to you original version of Xcode
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode6.x.app
# Install TRR
gem install therubyracer -v '0.11.4'

This is exactly the issue I was having, and I solved it using homebrew-versions.
Problem
I had trouble installing the gem libv8. To solve that problem, I installed v8 on my system via brew, and then used the option --with-system-v8.
$ brew install v8
$ gem install libv8 -v '3.11.8.13' -- --with-system-v8
$ gem install therubyracer -v '0.11.4'
The gem libv8 installed without a problem, however the last line resulted in the error from the original question. I then tried,
$ gem install therubyracer -v '0.11.4' -- --with-system-v8 --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/v8/3.30.33.16
pointing it at the v8 provided by brew. In that case, the error changed, and now told me that I had not provided a version of v8 compatible with 3.11.8.13.
For those googling the error message:
Building native extensions with: '--with-v8-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/v8/3.30.33.16/'
This could take a while...

Solution
I decided to try installing an earlier version of v8. Using brew again,
$ brew search v8
homebrew/versions/v8-315 v8
$ brew install v8-315
$ brew info v8-315
$ gem install therubyracer -v '0.11.4' -- --with-system-v8 --with-v8-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/v8-315/3.15.11
This worked. The version of v8 I ended up installing was ~3.15, but this was compatible with 3.11.8
The real solution here is to update everything to the latest version, and I do not advocate using old and out of date gems. Keep your system clean and up-to-date, even if it hurts!

This line appears a few times in your error message:
It is recommended to use GCC v4.4 or higher
The link to the steps you took says to run brew install apple-gcc42, which presumably installs GCC 4.2. 4.2 is less than 4.4.
The specific error that the C source is generating seems to be:
../src/cached-powers.cc:136:18: error: unused variable 'kCachedPowersLength' [-Werror,-Wunused-const-variable]
So if you can somehow edit the makefile (or extconf.rb) to remove those flags, that might also work. However I would recommend installing a compatible compiler instead, because modifying the cflags seems a little hacky.
