You may have some problems with ObjC if you don't use Apple's gcc.
The Apple gcc has a completely different implementation for ObjC.

Hi,
One of my long term goals is learning how to competently evaluate,
configure, compile, and maintain various open source software
projects for OS X. Recent years of my professional life have been
spent applying 4D RAD/database/web technology to solve client
problems, so this is a new direction for me.
I had a short term goal of installing the latest version of apache
on a G4 machine running 10.4.5. As you can imagine I hit some
inscrutable build errors, inscrutable to me anyway. In my short
term quest to solve this I attempted to install the latest release
version of gcc. The last few days have been spent reading the
installation docs, googling the error codes returned, reading open
source project FAQs, learning about new projects, etc.
This leads me to ask some advice about leaping ahead of what Apple
provides with its general OS updates, or what is provided with
Xcode tools.
Given that the latest version of gcc is 4.1.0 and that the latest
version of gcc provided with Xcode 2.2 is 4.0.1, what are the pros
and cons of installing 4.1.0 direct from the open project page
http://gcc.gnu.org/ (other than the obvious one like inexperienced
people like me will have a hard time doing this)? Please note that
this is a general question the same question could be applied to
the version of apache that comes with OS X.
Thanks,
Dan
