The real question is why do you need objc_msg_send?
That function is only used for the NeXT runtime.
You can use the __builtin_apply/__builtin_return to implement this
but I will warn you that they are really don't work for a lot of stuff.
You should be using higher level constructs like -[forward::] and stuff.
