bug#29644: gcc-objc is unusable without its 'gcc' executable

Subject: bug#29644: gcc-objc is unusable without its 'gcc' executable

Hello, unlike fortran program files which can be compiled using the
command 'gfortran' (in addition to 'gcc'), there is no other command for
Objective-C program files, and run 'gcc -c x.m' using the 'gcc' package
will just complain "Objective-C compiler not installed on this system"
due to it lacking objc support.

I have to revert commit 82f145ef7a to get a objc enabled 'gcc' in the
'gcc-objc' package.

IIUC, the purpose of that commit is to avoid file collisions between
'gfortran' and the 'gcc' package used in the 'gnu-build-system', which
will broke the compiler in some way.  So I think we really want to only
have one gcc package in an environment...

How about enable all languages (except 'brig' which I never heard of)
for the gcc-final and the 'gcc' (in gcc.scm) packages?  In this way, I
think 'gnu-build-system' and 'gcc-toolchain' will able to compile
Fortran, Objective-C, Go, etc. out of the box.
