Apple is often distributing misinformation. These are marketing people and they always want you to 
use the "latest and greatest Xcode". Actually the SDKs are independent of the Xcode distribution. 
SDKs are copies of part of older versions of the system software. They enable you to link with 
older versions of system libraries, so that the software will run on older versions of the system 
software.

So, for example, you can install the 10.5 SDK in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk on Mac OS X 10.6, 
10.7, 10.8 or 10.9. Or simply copy it from any Xcode distribution into /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk.

Using a 10.9 SDK only makes sense on a later release of the system software, for which you need a 
time machine to get it.

"Nope" isn't a very descriptive result. But I will look at the issue myself.

I will change the compiler.
