If you're looking to port iPhone apps, then you don't need garbage collection, 
which is the only Objective-C 2 feature that does not work with the combination 
of clang and libobjc2 (from GNUstep svn).  I am using this combination quite 
happily on FreeBSD and have fast enumeration, declared properties, zero-cost 
exceptions, and non-fragile ivars all working nicely.

If you are having problems with Wince, then I'd be happy to look at any bugs 
that you report, but so far I have not been told of any.

If you're going to be at FOSDEM this year, I will be giving a talk on the 
status of Objective-C 2 for non-Darwin platforms, and I'd encourage you to 
attend.
