Yeah, nice vendor lock-in example. Apple decides what you can and cannot do.

Otherwise, it is interesting to learn how this will go... I have no
iPhone and no intent to buy a iPad (because of the vendor lock-in

machines...

Has anyone tried cross-compiling them with gcc for the iPhone
platform? For example, as described here:
