Answer 1

Looks like you're trying to build a command line tool for the iPhone, which isn't supported. The error speaks the truth.

You can't build command line apps for the iPhone.

Answer 2

I can think of at least one legitimate scenario for this - building a command-line unit test project.

In my case I'm have a large amount of C++ in my project and am happy unit testing it natively on the Mac rather than on the target.
