Apple used to use gcc, or rather their own fork of it, up to version 4.2.  Then 
they started transitioning to llvm/clang, and these days don't ship gcc.  'gcc' 
exists as a symlink for compatibility.

>gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)

Between the transition, there was also 'llvm gcc' which is a hybrid with the 
gcc front end and llvm backend, that's the above.

Cheers,
