+@cindex options, Objective-C
+This section describes the command-line options that are only meaningful
+for Objective-C programs; but you can also use most of the GNU compiler
+options regardless of what language your program is in.  For example,
+you might compile a file @code{some_class.m} like this:
+
+@example
+gcc -g -fgnu-runtime -O -c some_class.m
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+In this example, only @samp{-fgnu-runtime} is an option meant only for
+Objective-C programs; you can use the other options with any language
+supported by GCC.
+
+Here is a list of options that are @emph{only} for compiling Objective-C
+programs:
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+@item -fconstant-string-class=@var{class name}
+Use @var{class name} as the name of the class to instantiate for each
+literal string specified with the syntax @code{@@"..."}.  The default
+class name is @code{NXConstantString}.
+
+@item -fgnu-runtime
+Generate object code compatible with the standard GNU Objective-C
+runtime.  This is the default for most types of systems.
+
+@item -fnext-runtime
+Generate output compatible with the NeXT runtime.  This is the default
+for NeXT-based systems, including Darwin and Mac OS X.
+
+@item -gen-decls
+Dump interface declarations for all classes seen in the source file to a
+file named @file{@var{sourcename}.decl}.
+
+@item -Wno-protocol
+Do not warn if methods required by a protocol are not implemented
+in the class adopting it.
+
+@item -Wselector
+Warn if a selector has multiple methods of different types defined.
