Hi Nikolaus,
I am especially interested in ObjC 2 support, hence I’d like to see https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2 <https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2> being ported (and it needs to, as I understand it). I guess you’re satisfied with GCC’s runtime which you need for your legacy hardware (Sharp Zaurus and the like). Since the GCC ObjC runtime contains no assembler it probably works out of the box (I have no experience here). Kind regards, Lars > Am 07.10.2021 um 22:20 schrieb H.
