I wasn't trying to be flippant BTW :), I'm just curious what your use case is that you'd prefer that compiler over others.  Over the years Xcode has included gcc, llvm-gcc, and clang; older versions only gcc, middle versions all three, and newer versions only clang.

But to answer your question: because it was a big hack, because it's discontinued, because it's old, and because it doesn't support modern C++.

Cheers,
