Objective-C Language Changes in Clang
-------------------------------------
+Clang now supports the GNUstep Objective-C ABI v2 on ELF platforms. This is
+enabled with the `-fobjc-runtime=gnustep-2.0` flag. The new ABI is incompatible
+with the older GNUstep ABIs, which were incremental changes on the old GCC ABI.
+The new ABI provides richer reflection metadata and allows the linker to remove
+duplicate selector and protocol definitions, giving smaller binaries. Windows
+support for the new ABI is underway, but was not completed in time for the LLVM
+7.0 release.
