Would they care more if they got lots of polite bug reports from registered
developers who care about Apple's SNAFU, encouraging Apple to re-instate the
PPC assembler for XCode 4? Is XCode 4 *supposed* to support the PPC-enabled
OS X versions? Or is it "Lion only"?

Also, did this bug start with XCode 4.0.whatever-the-first-one-is, or was
the bug added/the functionality removed in a "point" release?
