Now I'm lost...

I had tried adding #include <objc/capabilities.h> (or others files that
don't exist in the gcc libobjc) and the compiler didn't shout at me so
it must be that it had /usr/local/include/ in the search path, I think.

Anyway, I started from scratch and installed libobjc2 in /usr as you
suggested. Now the library builds but is linked with

> libobjc.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libobjc.so.4 (0x00007f746765d000)

and I don't know how to specify that I want it to use
/usr/lib/libobjc.so.4 instead. I could probably configure gnustep make
with --with-objc-lib-flag=-l:libobjc.so.4.6 but I guess that this .6
will change with a new release.

I'm thinking about building libobjc2 so that the library is called
libobjc2.so. That could simplify thinks a bit.

Thanks,
Philippe
