I haven't verified this myself, but what I was told was that the need
to use -traditional-cpp was classified as a bug in the PublicBeta and 
the defaults were going to be changed in the final release. So I would
expect that the switch is no longer required. 


If you're curious about the meaning of that magic option:
 Project Builder uses precompiled headers which use a special 
precompiler (which seems to have problems with some stmts) so the
default was set to NOT use the "traditional cpp" . I think they
got enough questions and complaints about this that they decided
to make cc behave normally and let PB set its own defaults.
