Ah. Thanks, guys! I had already noticed there was a “libobjc3” and wondered if
that was an even newer hotness :)
This might be worth calling out in the installation instructions at
gnustep.org. In general, I didn’t have an easy time tracking down all the info
there; it’s scattered between the static site and the wiki, and there are some
obsolete bits, like a link to a seven-year-old blog post about installing
GNUstep on Ubuntu.
