README

        
The libobjc included with older versions of gcc does not have a thread-safe

implementation of the initialize method. This means that any classes not

already used may be incorrectly initialised, potentially causing strange

behaviors and crashes.

To put this into context, the runtime bug has been known for several years

and only rarely causes problems ... the easy workaround being to ensure that

any classes used by a new thread have already been used in the main thread

before the new thread starts.

If you are worried, please build/run GNUstep with a runtime which supports

the +initialize method. The GNUstep stable runtime (libobjc) and clang

runtime (libobjc2), available from the GNUstep website and subversion

repository, should both work.

To disable this warning (eg. for an application which does not suffer any

problems caused by this runtime bug), please set the GSSilenceInitializeWarning

user default to YES.");
