[cfe-dev] objc_exec_class on Mac OS X

[Daniel Dunbar]

Does it work if you use the -fnext-runtime flag?
On Mac OS X, this should be the default, however it appears that you are
getting code for the GNU runtime. I just scanned over the implementation and
don't see an obvious problem. What is your target triple?
