Objective-C code is not relocatable

[David Kaelbling]

Compiling objective-c code with egcs-1.1.2 on SGI IRIX 6.x, the
resulting objects are not relocatable (and so cannot be put into shared
libraries).  The error messages look like this:

ld32: ERROR 103: Direct reference to preemptible symbol
"__objc_class_name_Object".
ld32: ERROR 103: Direct reference to preemptible symbol
"_GLOBAL_$I$obgtkAccelGroup.m6Mqexc".
ld32: ERROR 103: Direct reference to preemptible symbol
"__objc_class_name_Gtk_Label".
...

It only seems to be the special __objc_class_name_... and _GLOBAL_$I$...
symbols that have this problem.
