GNU C v2 should be out some time in the VERY near future, but for now, the NeXT version of GNU C v1.39 that has Objective-C extensions (and the gdb debugger to support it) are available from NeXT for a 'distribution fee', which is pretty small (under $100 I think for the entire distribution of GNU software with NeXT modifications). You can reach NeXT at +1 800 848 NeXT. GCC 2.0 will, of course, have an Objective-C runtime library, written (I'm told) by Cygnus Support. BTW, under Release 1.0 of the NeXT software, the GNU sources were made public, and put on several FTP sites. Anyone with the current GNU sources (with NeXT's modifications) may legally make them available by any means he/she wishes. That's part of the GPL. So, if anyone has the Release 2.0 GNU sources, how about it? B-)
