1) Is it true that all OSX boxes come with gcc / ld on them?
No - they're part of the developer tools package. Is there no way
you could depend on the developer tools?
Note that the developer tools *installer* has been included on the
system DVD since 10.4, and usually came in a folder somewhere in /
Applications for preinstalled systems or on a separate CD with
earlier releases. So, in general you can assume that every user has
GCC and could be asked to install it (save for those kept small by
admins who don't let them have the system CDs, but then those would
probably not have admin privileges either).
