I can't speak for the example in the FAQ but there is a sleazy test suite  
available for the current GNU run time -- yes, the run time does exist, it  
is available, and it does work, but it is in its infancy.

Cruising through my file store...   Yes, there is a objc/Object.h.   
However, I'm using gcc 2.3.2 and I had to install the include files and  
libraries by hand.

I've just looked at the example in the FAQ.  Where do these objects come  
from?
#import "Queue.h"
#import "Stack.h"
