The GNUstep Objective-C runtime is designed as a drop-in replacement for the
GCC runtime. It supports both a legacy and a modern ABI, allowing code
compiled with old versions of GCC to be supported without requiring
recompilation. The modern ABI adds the following features:
- Non-fragile instance variables.
- Protocol uniquing.
- Object planes support.
- Declared property introspection.
Both ABIs support the following feature above and beyond the GCC runtime:
- The modern Objective-C runtime APIs, introduced with OS X 10.5.
- Blocks (closures).
- Low memory profile for platforms where memory usage is more important than
speed.
- Synthesised property accessors.
- Efficient support for @synchronized()
- Type-dependent dispatch, eliminating stack corruption from mismatched
selectors.

- Patch a few files to use the exported LISP_EXTRA_ARG variable,
thus respecting --dynamic-space-size on every sbcl invocation.
Without this, the port fails to build even if DYNAMIC_SPACE_SIZE
is set to a proper value.

last commit.
The original problem is port was broken on amd64 when you have CFLAGS= defined
on make.conf. On last commit i thought it was fixed, but no, i don't know why
but it was building without define LUA_USE_LINUX and the binary generated was
wrong.
I figured out just using GMAKE fixes everything, it respect CFLAGS= when you
have, add -fPIC for amd64 and use correct defines for building, so, lets use
gmake to build this port for now.

Changes:
- The chapter explaining string indexing in the manual was improved.
- The compiler (comp.sd7) and the hi interpreter were improved to support the
actions "ITF_CMP" and "ITF_HASHCODE".
- The parameter names of the functions arc, chord and pieslice in the
"draw.s7i" library were changed to startAngle and sweepAngle.
- The compiler was improved such that compiled programs which use SIGALARM
(the functions 'wait' and 'await' from the "time.s7i" library may use
SIGALARM) can be terminated with ctrl-c followed by * and enter.
- Parameter names were added to the prototypes in the file "drw_drv.h".
- The function drwPFArcPieSlice in "drw_win.c" was implemented.
- The functions drwFCircle and drwPFCircle in "drw_x11.c were improved.
Changes:
- The chapter explaining the type 'time' in the manual was improved.
- The support for source level debugging in the compiler (comp.sd7) was
improved. Now the option -g generates better #line directives and the 'main'
function was arranged such that the current line shown by a debugger is
correct when the program is started.
- In the "seed7_05.s7i" library the function "rpos" was overloaded to do a
reverse search for a character in a string starting from a given position.
- The files "str_rtl.c", "strlib.c", "primitiv.c" and the compiler were
improved to support the primitive action STR_RCHIPOS (which implements the
new overloaded 'rpos' function).
