The first one of these really belongs in a separate file as well.

It should go in a separate file; extend.texi should just describe GNU
extensions to languages whose front ends are covered in the main manual
(that is, C and C++, since objc has a separate file that used to be in the
libobjc directory).

The content is OK. The position should probably be after objc.texi rather
than coming between the discussion of C/C++ extensions and that of ObjC
extensions.
