GCC Framework support in Linux

[Stefan Urbanek]

Hi list,

As I am not member of this list, so let me introduce a bit. I am a developer 
creating frameworks and applications for the GNUstep project (www.gnustep.org).

A friend of mine has pointed me to this message:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-08/msg00541.html

I think that disabling framework support for linux or any other non-osx OS is 
not a good idea. Who wants them? The project GNUstep is free implementation 
variant of OpenStep - predcessor of OSX. GNUstep has frameworks and they are 
almost the same as OSX frameworks. At this time, GNUstep is using hacks like 
symlinks to shared libraries and headers to be able to support frameworks.

Because GNUstep is cross-platform environment, i would suggest not to restrict 
framework support only for OSX. I am crossposting this to discuss-gnustep and 
therefore I would like to open it to a discussion to find some way.

Sincerely,

Stefan Urbanek
