Thanks for looking into this Denis. It's really appreciated.

Well, from what I understand from reading the bug report and comments is 
that Dara Hazeghi was the one trying this out. You (Denis) said that the 
cause was that __builtin_return wasn't supported (comment #8) in the AVR 
port. I would think that all that this bug would need *to move forward* 
would just be the next step and get __builtin_return supported. This may 
not solve the overall issue of building libobjc but I think that's ok: 
it then puts it back in Dara's lap. This bug is *definitely* low, low, 
low priority. :-) AFAIK, there's nobody screaming for Objective-C for 
the AVR (though it would be kind of cool!).

Remember,  I just wanted to post a list of outstanding AVR issues. :-)

Thanks again Denis.
