It's a bit more complicated than what I said.  The native gcc package
builds a subpackage called libobjc, which contains libobjc.so*.  The
problem is that nothing in mingw32-gcc builds libobjc*.dll.  We do
however have a static library.

Anyhow I have added the following patch to CVS which at least fixes
the build dependency problem.  The packages now can all be installed.
I haven't tested if the Objective C compiler actually does anything
useful, or if it is broken because of the lack of libobjc*.dll.
Someone who cares/knows Objective C can do that.

Rich.
