If you don't get an answer... gcc is mainly for self-starters, we typically don't have enough bandwidth to answer these types of questions.... The use of the file xgcc as a program is documented in hundreds of pages worth of documentation. If you haven't yet read all of that documentation, now would be a good time to read through it. If you have read though it, maybe you could rephrase your question in 100 words or more. If you want an internal perspective of what it is used for, you can read gcc/Makefile.in and see exactly what it is used for. Also, you can obtain yet another view of what it is for, by examining the output of a make bootstrap. Hope this helps some. The short answer, it is the compiler. Longer answer, it is the compiler driver.
