You're not forced to assign changes that you do not want to assign.

I don't understand.  Yes you are forced to assign copyright to the FSF
for changes you contribute to FSF GCC.  You are of course not forced
to do this for your own forks of GCC.

Yeah, if Apple didn't send the code to FSF GCC, the fact that Apple has an assignment does not count. They're not forced to assign changes that they do not want to assign -- as long as they keep the changes local, which they did for Objective C 2.0. The only way to know, would be to ask someone at Apple.
