I installed llvm-dev from ports. Which gives me a 'clang' command
that I can use like this:

clang test.m -emit-llvm -o - | llvm-as | opt -std-compile-opts | llc > test.s
cc test.s -lobjc
./a.out

That works fine as long as there are no actual Objective C
constructs inside test.m . Its a basic "hello world" at the
moment:

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <objc/Object.h>
        int
        main(int argc, char *argv[])
        {
                puts("Hello world");
                return 0;
        }

That works fine. But if I add the line "id x = [Object new];"
at the start of main() then I get this at runtime:

        Module (null) version 8 doesn't match runtime 8
        Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

That's due to me having the wrong libobjc, yes ? I was wondering what
runtime you use which works... now I can compile and run code I
am interested in experimenting with this a bit....
