[oi-dev] gcc builds - no cc1objplus

[Till Wegmueller]

Hello Everyone

After some quick searching, it looks like it's actually not it's own 
language, but part of the objective-c language, where only with that 
feature it can link against c++ libraries. Curious that we have not 
gotten any error from people trying to compile Objective-C because one 
would assume that there are some c++ libraries even they link against. 
But again it's probably such a small percentage of people using 
objective-C that we won't notice any change for very long.

If you are using it in parts of code we can add it, We are support the 
whole of GCC anyways so it's no additional burden but we probably don't 
have any consumers.
