These functions are part of the Apple runtime, while GNUstep uses the GNU
Objective-C runtime.

These functions (or the equivalent functions) are present in the GNU
Objective-C runtime as well, but usually with a different name; sometime
with a slightly different syntax and/or API.

Try looking for the <objc/objc.h> and similar header files on your
machine.  They are usually installed with your compiler, such as in 

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/objc

there you should find all the functions you need.
