There are builds of gcc 4.7 for Lion here:
<http://hpc.sourceforge.net/>
and you can use this technique to build a compiler plugin for Xcode:

I tried this at one point, and it basically worked, but I hit some bug or other... I don't recall what, but it was something already in the gcc bugbase...
One problem one might encounter is that the very definition of Objective-C is now very much tied to clang itself... I'm not sure how well even the newest gcc's can build modern Obj-C.
