Ah ... interesting. ;-)

I don't think that should be a problem with the GNU runtime. :-)

The forwarding IMP you get is (should be) a normal function that you can call
without special consequences on the stacktrace.  It's exactly the same
function that gets called when forwarding is done during a normal method
invocation. ;-)

So, while it's harder to figure out if you're getting a forwarding IMP or a 
normal
IMP with the GNU runtime, it also doesn't really matter.  They're both standard
functions that you can call.  There are no magical assembler tricks going on.
