It miscompiled objective-c code horribly when using the GNU runtime, but
I have a patch for that. See:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11754

With that applied, and compiling without optimizations, the core/
libraries and a few other libraries/apps compile and seem to run ok, and
the GNUstep test suite passes as much as it did before. Currently
testing more extensively with -O2. I'll report if something breaks, or
when I'm done with this round of testing.

(Note that the core/ libraries needed a trivial fix to compile:
