Are there any performance issues to consider?  Is using libffi
slower/faster than the builtins?


It is most likely slower but these APIs in libobjc are not used as
much as the other ones, plus GNUStep already uses libffi as the
forwarding mechanism also so they will not see any speed difference,
only other folks might.
