Well - as you certainly know, the GNU and the Apple runtime differ
significantly in their API and internals - and because gnustep was written
to work with the GNU runtime, if you use the GNU runtime, it should/might
just work - while with the Apple runtime you have to port the library -
some work was done, but it's not complete. In any case, it's much more
work.
Btw, I don't think that loading libobjc twice will make such a big
difference.
Anyway yes - a 'native' port of gnustep under Darwin would use the Apple
runtime - if you want to contribute to make that port, you are welcome - I
was suggesting a possible shortcut.
