The GCC maintainers who work for Apple have basically been directed by Apple to stop working on the FSF GCC.
That includes the ObjC maintainer.
Rumors are that Apple plans to switch to a compiler based on LLVM.
It appears that nothing has been done to the ObjC front end in the past year other than updates required to keep it working with the rest of the compiler. So it's basically on life support. There's a regression suite, and it still passes those tests, but that is about it.
