I haven't had time to look at the runtime  closely, but as your findings 
show, I'd also assume that the current GNU libobjc functions only 
retrieve references to selectors compiled into the executables.  The GNU 
runtime also has a notion of typed selectors, which might make 
generating and registering selectors dynamically a little more 
cumbersome.  I would suggest you search through libobjc (part of gcc).

Cheers,
David

to contact me privately, but I'm sure there are also others on this list 
(or gcc-help@) that could help.
