[1] what is the use of "xgcc" file in gcc-sources..
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.
