libobjc2 provides the same property functions as the Apple runtime (and the 
ObjectiveC2 framework in GNUstep).  If GCC 4.6 uses these, then it should be 
fine.  If it doesn't, then I'd suggest you change that before 4.6 is released, 
because it will make maintaining the compiler difficult in the future and will 
mean that GCC's libobjc won't work with code that has declared properties and 
is compiled with clang.
