Apple is betting everything on Clang/LLVM and they really need ARM for
iOS. They have basically given up on GCC. Last time GCC got update was
with Xcode 3.2.6, latest Xcode is 4.6, according to this:

In other words, Apple stopped using newer versions of GCC when the
licence changed to GPLv3. I wonder where Clang/LLVM would be today if
GCC was still available under GPLv2.
