Description
In theory, Rubicon should be able to work for *any* Objective C implementation. GNUStep is the most prominent Linux alternative to the macOS frameworks, and in theory, it's compatible; so we should add support for GNUStep.
An initial attempt was made with #122; however, that effort stalled due to issues driving the compiler and linking process. Someone with more GNUStep experience is required.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the stalled attempt in #122 and the compiler and linking issues described there. Determine the GNUStep-specific build and runtime requirements, then verify that Rubicon works with GNUStep as well as its existing Objective-C implementation.
