I had a quick conversation with Daniel Dunbar on this. Adding -Xcc -fblocks as a default option to Swift PM (on Linux). The wrinkle is the availability of the blocks runtime - it would either need to become a pre-req for Swift, or needs one to be built into the package.

Integrate swift-corelibs-dispatch into Foundation. Hi Tony, Hopefully this is on the task list already, but if it isn't we should add it before it gets to be too late to change the compiler... When compiling a Swift program on Linux that imports Dispatch (or Foundation once the integration is done), the user has to give the extra compilation flags -Xcc -fblocks to enable block support. We really need to land a change somewhere so that either (1) blocks support is always on for Linux or (2) importing Dispatch or Foundation automatically turns on blocks support. I have some time today and tomorrow that I could use to work on this if no one is handling it already, but I'm not sure how best to tackle the problem.
