I think we are miscommunicating. Emacs cannot currently be built with
GCC for reasons that are unrelated to the ObjC blocks feature, see
this discussion:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-08/msg00039.html
So even if the GCC folks implement the blocks feature, the main
obstacle for using GCC on macOS will still stand, and will prevent us
from supporting a GCC build of Emacs on macOS.
