RMS has already announced that he intends to merge NeXT's Objective-C work
into the GNU C/C++ compiler. Thus, users of all systems for which gcc
back-ends have been or can be developed can benefit from NeXT's work, just
like NeXT benefited from other people's work by using gcc as the basis for
their Objective-C compiler. This is EXACTLY the way "GNUware", as you call
it, is supposed to work.
