I don't know if LLVM's blocks runtime works on non-Darwin platforms  
yet, but the Étoilé ObjectiveC2 framework[1] and the GNUstep Objective- 
C runtime[1] both include support for blocks (based on the same code.   
The Étoilé framework provides most of the features that are missing  
from the GCC Objective-C runtime as an optional framework).  We've  
been using blocks with this code on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris since  
May.

You can build these with GNUstep Make, or just copy the (MIT licensed)  
blocks.* files into your project.
