Checkout command line tools for Xcode from apple. It's official support from apple to only create the command line tools.

Install the GCC package from the Packages directory in Xcode's disk image and you'll have just GCC. Note that of course you won't have autotools or other standard build tools, for which you will have to install more packages from that folder.
