I've appended a diff of the lib output of gcc and gcc-objc. According to du adding objc support to regular gcc would increase the lib output by 368K. I think our best option is to move forward with adding objc/objc++ as languages which gcc simply provides without needing a separate package. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> רנשלפ םירפא GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
