You can look up problems in the gcc bug database.  If there are none, 
it must be perfect.  :-)  It if is perfect, then you can compile up all 
Objective-C code you can find and test it all.

 From there, I'd just start by firing up emancs, and gdb of cc1obj in 
emacs, put a breakpoint on main, and run it...  gcc -v t.m will give 
you hints on what arguments to run it with.

Beyond that, you can check out the documentation in the texi files, and 
the documentation in the code, and finally, the code itself.
