All incarnations of XCode that I have seen have linked dev tool binaries

No, the gcc-4.2 package (and gfortran for Xcode) installs into /usr
My mistake. I've been re-rooting the installation to `/usr/local` for so long that my brain thinks that is where it lives.
There are rumblings indicating that XCode 4.3 will keep the dev tools
internal to XCode.app its self and not link anything to /usr other than a few utility tools such as xcode_select.
Interestingly there is iOS beta but no OS X beta so I wouldn't panic since for iOS it makes sense. Cheers, Simon
We have been getting lots of reports from XCode beta users that the next
iteration will be a self-contained application bundle:
