Are you saying that the gcc no longer ships with Xcode, or that it, for some reason, moved the gcc binary to a different directory (or both)? If the gcc no longer comes with Xcode, how might one get gcc for OSX Lion?

They just removed GCC 4.0. GCC 4.2.1 is avaiable as /usr/bin/gcc-4.2, and /usr/bin/gcc is actually LLVM-GCC 4.2

This keeps coming up every now and then. What's the difference between Xcode and iTunes that lets them give iTunes updates for free?

That's a good question, but unfortunately I'm not privy to Apple's internal workings to give you an accurate answer. The general metric seems to be "Does it add value to the core product?" This is the same reason iOS updates are free to the iPhone but not to the iPod Touch — the iPhone is viewed as a multi-year investment (and reflected as such in Apple's accounting), while the iPod Touch is a shrinkwrap product that…

It should. But if you're still having trouble, I found using this will always work for me: sudo ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 pip install

The "please quit iTunes" thing happened to me with Xcode 4.0 on 10.6 as well. Pretty ridiculous.

The Xcode installation asks you to close iTunes because of iTuneshelper and how iTunes will sync devices (including development devices) when they're plugged in. It makes sense that Xcode asks you to quit itunes (and kills ituneshelper too) to update files. It isn't ridiculous.
