Hi Michael,
Two questions about Apple's Objective-C 2.0 work:
1) Does anyone know when the syntax extensions will be available &
working
in the gcc compiler?
It is work in progress. For current status, you can check out Apple's
4.0 branch. We will push this to FSF mainline when features are
frozen and adapted by Apple's internal developers. Note that features
rely heavily on Leopard frameworks. So, you may not get very far
using the new features on Tiger, etc.
2) Will their garbage collection & accelerated message dispatch
mechanisms
also be supported?
Yes. In Leopard.
If you want more information on the features, please ask and after
management approval, I can forward them to you.

Fairborz is working on them, I imagine that it won't be until
they're done in Leopard, but I'll let him give more information.
