Re: [PATCH] libobjc2 pthread and NSBlock

[David Chisnall]

The changes to the makefile look correct.  The changes to NSBlocks.m  
are not.  Adding the category on NSBlock is now no use, because the  
class is renamed _NSBlock.  It is created dynamically and so it can  
not be augmented by a category.  For EtoileFoundation's Smalltalk  
compatibility layer we need to use the new runtime functions to add  
the methods to _NSBlock.

Adding an interface for NSBlock will make it compile but won't make it  
work.
