On a related note, was any progress made in getting a broader
exemption on the GNU libobjc license?  As of last night, I have
clang/ llvm compiling simple Objective-C programs targeting the GNU
Objective- C runtime, but the GPL exemption only applies to programs
compiled with GCC and so any code compiled in this way is GPL'd,
which is something I definitely do not want for my own code.
