I seem to remember that most the system builds with 3.3 but I could be wrong Which one is gcc 3.1, 3.3, and 4.0? Which is the fastest? Which is the most recent? of course you could always check out the latest version of apple's branch at fsf ( YMMV ) Which is the most correct? What happened to gcc 2.9? How long will each be supported? Lastly, for someone building their own, which one is the best choice? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
