> They are shipping a completely outdated GCC

They are shipping a heavily modified GCC that originally was forked in 2008. The version of GCC they ship is entirely based on LLVM via Clang and is intended to be a hold-over for everything to transition to Clang over LLVM.

It's 4.2.1, but the compiler is actually simple to replace anyway. The real problem for me is the C++ standard library.
