I believe that the XCode that ships with Leopard is 3.0, not 2.5. I  
believe 2.5 was a preview release for developers who wanted to  
develop for Leopard in the pre-release state. What I can confirm is  
this, on a system with the Leopard XCode installed there is a /usr/ 
bin installed under the /Developer directory. The full path is / 
Developer/usr/bin/. I don't know what the ramifications of this are.  
I am comparing the two directories, but everything I've compared so  
far is the same version (cpp, autoconf, aclocal, autoupdate, bison,  
gcc, m4, etc). So it may make no difference. (This was with an  
"upgrade" installation, not a clean installation.)
