besides the patch is not needed, the patch is incomplete. you still link with the installed gc library. the other question is, if the boehm-gc built for libgcj is suitable for libobjc. see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg01520.html and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-01/msg01019.html for further details. > gcc-3.3 build-depends on libgc-dev, containing said headers.
