There

the libobjc use of internal GCC headers, which causes build problems
regularly.
I don't find this a convincing argument to introduce more non
portabilities.
But you're discussing the non-portability of a feature that does not
exist in GNU libobjc in the first place. :-)
Yes the existing ones should be dealt with, but even more important
is not to introduce any new ones.
I'd say that user impact, rather than seniority, should drive our
priorities here. As Stan said, the exception non-portabilities are
currently hypothetical, whereas the libobjc build problems can be
decidedly non-hypothetical. Of course, as we Apple folk do not use GNU
libobjc, we do not care about this very much :-(, but it would seem to
me that you should.
