For reference, the $_OBJC_CLASS symbols are meant to be exported from a 
DLL, they are the canonical pointers to the classes.  The 
$_OBJC_REF_CLASS pointers are private to a library and are the pointer 
that code should use for references to a given class.  These are 
initialised to the corresponding $_OBJC_CLASS variables and the runtime 
can update them to something different if we change the structure of the 
class structure in a future ABI.

I don't know if anything in your build is confusing that?
