You're asking for an Objective-C *interpreter*. Such a facility, which
supported dynamic compilation (of source files) and dynamic linking 
(of compiled binary files: isn't this what you mean by binding? The
compiler and the interpreter have always supported dyanmic *binding*, but
the compiler relies on a separate linker utility for linking) already 
exists for Objective-C releases through 3.0. The interpreter has not yet
been upgraded to version 4.0.
