Lot's of ifdefs is not the right solution. The code in class-builder.m 
should use the definitions from objc_support.h instead of the native 
Apple/NexStep definitions. Hopefully this mechanism solves most of your 
problems.

BTW. I noticed GNUstep has a build-option for using a 
garbage-collector. Using that option might cause problems with 
subclassing Objective-C classes from Python, the current code depends 
on reference-counts in both Python and Objective-C to detect if objects 
are alive.
