If you look at the file swarm-objc-apple2.h in src/defobj, you will see that all of the Swarm objc functions are just #define'd to the Apple objc functions. The same thing can be done for GNU objc by creating a swarm-objc-gnu2.h then have it be included from swarm-objc-api.h under the right conditions (i.e. some check for GNU and objc version). If the Apple and GNU runtimes have the same behavior, which I think they are suppose to, then the objc abstraction layer can be tossed completely and ObjC V2 used directly.
