I'm using the release version of Xcode 2.2 just fine.  The 2.2  
prerelease
was terrible.  I'm using GCC 4.0.  When it has problems, it's due to
inattentive or sloppy coding in the package, not a problem with the
compiler.  GCC 4.x is much stricter about linkage and scope than 3.x.x.

I'm using Apple's X11.  As others have said, it just works.
I've built a number of X11 packages and they work just fine.

I'm waiting for some patches to be committed so that devel/libgnome
builds again.
