besides the patch is not needed, the patch is incomplete. you still
link with the installed gc library. the other question is, if the
boehm-gc built for libgcj is suitable for libobjc.

see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-02/msg01520.html
and http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-01/msg01019.html
for further details.

done.
