You better be because that person is a global maintainer on GCC and
he thought he was doing right, I have asked to take over maintainer
of libobjc in GCC and everyone has been supported but no action has
come out of it.

The first thing, I will do is make sure that GNU's libobjc is able to 
run on
Darwin and reable it as an option and able to say -fgnu-runtime and 
also get
the GNU runtime.
