Perhaps a comment somewhere in the code, changelog, or bug about why xcrun is needed / useful?

Newer versions of Xcode now bundle build tools (like nm, gperf, etc.) inside each SDK (macosx, iphoneos, iphonesimulator) instead of in /usr/bin.  This allows different versions of each tool to be shipped independent of the host (Mac) that's used to build and independent of each SDK.

The xcrun tool is how one finds the path to the correct tool (based on which SDK you're currently building for).  See Bug 80915.
