Comment (by zooey):

 Sorry, but I don't think we should include support for any other language
 than c & c++ in our basic gcc package (since those are the languages
 directly supported by haiku). Any other languages, no matter how small,
 should come as separate package.

 It doesn't matter that it's a pain to download gcc and build a specific
 language backend, since you're free to do that once and create an optional
 package for objc and/or objc++. That can then be installed as easily as
 gcc.
