Yeah, I'm not going to put in any changes that break existing
Objective-C code (at least not knowingly :-) ). Part of my
day job is to understand Apple's changes to GCC, and so far
Apple's ObjC changes are turning out to be either dead code,
implementation details, or controlled by command-line flags.
So I don't expect that there is going to be much of a problem.
Even so, since ObjC compilation doesn't get as much testing as
bootstrapping on GNU/Linux :-), please speak up if you run
into any regressions!
