I think you will find the IDE portion of Xcode is closed source. If
the bug is in the IDE, and
Apple don't backport it themselves, you are out of luck.
Xcode 2.5 will soon be available, as the end-of-the-road for Tiger...
But it probably doesn't have all the features and fixes of Xcode 3.0.
Only the command line GNU tools in Xcode are open source, such as gcc
itself.
Not all tools are open source (yet?) either, Xcode 2.4.1 and Xcode 3.0
have so far not been released. And you'll need something like
"odcctools",
in order to actually build and use them outside of the Apple
toolchain...
http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ and http://macosforge.org/
And I _am_ interested
in Objective-C 2.0 (having no Objective-C experience except that I
read
there are OO improvements in 2.0).
Eventually (I hope - I don't follow gcc development) someone will
make a patch from Apple's CVS (or the source code that should be on
the Leopard DVD - is there source code on the Leopard DVD ?) Then it
is up to Red Hat / FSF to accept it into the gcc upstream. From the
upstream, MacPorts will get Objective-C 2.0
Objective-C++ eventually got included, so Objective-C 2.0 probably will.
Someone needs to write a new runtime, though, such as the GNUstep one ?
