I think GCC has been really keen on supporting ObjC and ObjC++. They have entire testsuites that test the languages, and make no changes that ever break it. It's remarkable how hard they support it given that none of them uses it. ;-) What we need to realize, in my view, is that the "GNU Objective-C Compiler" and the "GNU Objective-C Runtime" can only be maintained by the "GNU Objective-C People". And the "GNU Objective-C People" is mostly us (GNUstep), the people on this mailing list! ;-) As gnustep-make is mostly complete and feature-full (and so I can maintain it with low overhead), I have personally decided to give part of my free-software-hacking attention (for the foreseeable future) to Objective-C support in the FSF GCC and in the FSF GNU Objective-C runtime library.
