Description Xiaojun Ma CLA 2014-03-20 00:05:52 EDT 
When creating a C or C++ Project on OS X, the available toolchains are "Cross GCC" and "MacOSX GCC". However, starting from OS X 10.9, which many people upgraded because it is free, doesn't have a "real" GCC any more.

$ gcc
clang: error: no input files
$ gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

There is already a LLVM toolchain but it's an optional feature right now. Maybe it could be included by default. There are a few issues that should be addressed first I think, like bug 406163.

I'm not sure we can do platform specific sub-features with EPP. I can take a look at it. We certainly need it to be there by default. But we also need lldb...
