If you install the command-line tools you get a gcc command.  It's
basically a clang compiler but there is no need to install another huge
compilation system.  I should add "so I hear" because this is all second
hand.

clang makes a great C compiler.  gcc is also makes a fine objective-c
compiler.  Neither fact makes either of them "a bit strange".  There
will likely to be more strangeness if the OP ends up with two compilers
-- one called from Xcode and the other on the command line.  I'd advise
against that set up.
