[ale] C Compiler for Linux

[Ed Cashin]

Depending on how into Objective C you get, you might find the portable
object compiler interesting.

It depends on gcc (I think) and supports some features that gcc's
out-of-the-box Objective C support lacks.

One historical note is that iPhone and Mac development use a lot of
technologies that grew out of NeXT, and there's a GNUstep OpenStep project
that you might find interesting for practice or insight.
