I just switched from gcc 2.95.x, where the GNUstep dox say I must use

fine. But it doesn't. It leaks threads, so eventually your program
crashes in objc_detach_thread. The reason is that in gcc's libobjc,
threads are created joinable, so when they exit they hang around
forever waiting to be joined.
If you're sure about this, I implore you to please file a bug ASAP. if
you're lucky, it will get fixed in time for the GCC4 release. I'm sure
Andrew *will* address it, as soon as he sees your report, which you
may have already filed.
I opened gcc bugzilla #19850. Andrew said "I will try to have this
fixed for 4.1 but no promises."
