Known bug.
For me, the uninstall-devtools.pl script on the Xcode 2.5 disk image
misses a lot of stuff from Xcode 2.4.1 (tested both on my iBook and
on my G5). gcc is gone along with the ppc32 and i386 assemblers, but
the ppc64 and x86_64 assemblers, ld, ar, ... and most things in the /
Developer folder (ADC Reference Library, the Applications folder
with the Xcode IDE and all subdirectories, Documentation, Examples,
Extra, Java, ... SDKs, Tools) are still there.
The uninstall script for a given tools version is really tailored for
that version. There is no good way to ensure that the uninstaller
scripts has proper information for what gets installed by previous
versions of the tools (when the content overlaps, this isn't a big
deal, but it items are added or removed, it can cause problems).
Is this also known, i.e., am I supposed to use the uninstall script
from Xcode 2.4.1 to uninstall Xcode 2.4.1? FWIW, I did not manually
delete any receipts from /Library/Receipts. And when I then deleted
most of the stuff from /Developer manually on my iBook along with
all developer tools-related installer receipts, and ran the Xcode
2.5 installer, it complained that /Developer was not entirely empty
(which was correct, I left in a folder of documentation from a non-
Apple developer tool).
Since there is a lot of structural change between 2.4.1 and 2.5, It is
recommended to uninstall the tools first with the 2.4.1 devtools
uninstaller script and then install the 2.5 tools.

On my G5 I'm now running the Xcode 2.5 installer without manually
deleting everything first (but after running the uninstall perl
script first), and that seems to work: the installer itself first
deleted all stuff that was still left from Xcode 2.4.1 (since I
didn't delete the receipts, that's normal behaviour for an upgrade
by the installer if the installer packages are named the same as the
previous ones), and now it's installing the new things.
I'll file a bug report when I know what exactly the idea is, and
what is supposed to work/happen when.
