The trouble is that the evidence is basically "Apple says they don't". Because the source code is not open, we can't know for sure one way or the other.

Oh come on. For that to work Apple would have to become a major backer of a compiler, and even then provide major libraries that link to everything. And possibly even invent its own variant of C. What are the chances of that?

Oh. Well. I'll just be hiding in this corner, then.
