You're talking about the old Apple gcc, now Apple uses a 3.2 with
modifications. And the reason for the differences is bog simple:
the old modifications were by Motorola and they choose the simple
way of introducing new semantics (by violating the any C standard) 
instead of integrating it properly because it was much easier; the
gcc project obvously cannot do this for their official compiler.
The commandline switches were not in line with the normal switches
so they had to be changed also. Despite the annoyance there're also
quite a few benefits...
