Yes. As Philippe demonstrated GCC errors when it sees the header
files.

As far as I’m aware nobody is working on it. Features like blocks have
been part of Apple’s Objective C spec for at least a decade now and I
don’t believe there has been any attempt to update GCC.
GNUstep doesn’t use these updated features, but it does mean they
can’t match the current Apple APIs. Although I don’t know if they want
to, I know very little about the project.
