I believe the root cause is that ObjC requires some reflection-type
facilities, and that these were implemented for libobjc by using
target macros from tm.h, rather than compiler builtins.  Fixing
this doesn't get very high up on anybody's agenda unfortunately;
Apple's motivation is limited for instance because OS X doesn't
use libobjc.
