Uhm - no, didn't know that.

Makes sense - thanks.

Unfortunately, I can't find a working ObjC compiler.

- Apple's cc fails in configure due to a different installation. 
There is no NXConstStr.h on Darwin / OS X.

- gcc 3.0.4 doesn't compile at all on Darwin - obviously a 
fitting configuration is missing (function.c:598: `DEFAULT_ABI' 
undeclared).

- gcc 3.1 with Apple mods bootstraps a working C compiler but 
fails to build the Obj-C stuff, e.g. libobjc.a. Tried several 
ways to build the thing. - requested help on the Darwin gcc3 
list.


In the meantime, I'll continue with Apple's 2.95.2. Since 
sources for both runtimes are available, there sould be a way to 
get it done. And then - I need to get into this GNUstep build 
mechanism ...


Cheers,
Markus
