Please do not follow this advice.  The blocks runtime provided by compiler-rt 
is incompatible with Objective-C.  The hooks it provides are highly specific to 
the NeXT runtime, and so sending a message to a block will cause a crash (as 
will storing blocks in collections, using them with any of the higher-order 
messaging in EtoileFoundation, and so on).  This is why GNUstep provides its 
own.
