Yes, the ObjC compiler normally used by GNUstep users *is* the  
standard GCC.  GCC can compile Objective-C as well as C. :-)

Yes, it handles exactly the same features.  The ObjC compiler is GCC  
and so handles exactly the same options.  When GCC runs in "Objective- 
C mode" it just recognizes the Objective-C specific syntax in addition  
to all the normal C stuff.  Any C code that it finds will be compiled  
exactly like when it runs in "C mode". :-)
