besides the patch is not needed, the patch is incomplete. you still link with the installed gc library. the other question is, if the boehm-gc built for libgcj is suitable for libobjc.
see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg01520.html and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-01/msg01019.html for further details.

done.
ok i see now, didnt realise the extent of the problem. well feel free to drop this bug to wishlist or to drop it entirely.. has the build-depend for libgc-dev been checked? do you want me to check it?
