Right, Xcode 2.4.1 and 3.0 has not been released (yet?).

I used FSF GCC 3.3.x on Panther, but eventually gave up
on FSF GCC 4.x.y with Tiger since it didn't really work.

But having both available would be great, so keep it up! :-)

Some of it is language support (Objective-C++ for Tiger
and Objective-C 2.0 for Leopard), it also has more support
for old operating systems quirks - both Mac OS and NeXTstep.
And not sure if FSF GCC supports the SDKs and -isysroot yet ?

There's a lot of changes, the diff between them is now huge...
