I think who ever advised this is incorrect and there are politics reasons why they should never advised this too. Since both GCC and GNUStep are GNU projects they should be advising to use them. > > Do you understand what is going on? Will LLVM keep the Traditional > Objective-C runtime API?

LLVM does not really have a runtime, there is another runtime called libobjc2 which can be used with LLVM (and it does not include the traditional runtime anyways). But really you should not be switching away from GCC for GNUStep. Thanks, Andrew Pinski
