In the newest version OS X system (El Captain) is still 4.2.1 which was released 28 of July, 2007. When will it be updated? Why does OS X still have so old version of GCC? Why we use in 2016 GCC released in 2007?

That could not be a native installation since 10.11 should run only Xcode 7+, and Xcode 5+ provided clang while removing its gcc 4.2 related parts. There is a wikipedia page of its history. Alternatively, you are free to install any version of gcc yourself, newer or older.
