--disable-sjlj is a good suggestion and should get past the "detecting exception model"
step (which should complete configuring libobjc), but if the compiler can't compile
Objective-C, wouldn't it then fail to compile libobjc (which contains some ObjC files)
a few seconds later (and, in fact, wouldn't it be generally unusable for ObjC) ? :-(
But maybe the real suggestion is just to reconfigure GCC (which presumably could fix things
by enabling objc ?) ? ;-)
German, is it working if you reconfigure with --disable-sjlj ? If not, can you provide
lot more information on your build ? Was objc in the list of languages being built ? I
don't know about Ian, but I feel I don't have enough information to help - I'd recommend
sending lot more info (eg, attaching config.log files from gcc, from libobjc, output of
configure, exact commands you gave etc). ;-)
Thanks
