Since you bring the subject, the GNUstep project recently announced a
new Objective-C runtime:
- announcement https://mail.gna.org/public/etoile-discuss/2007-11/msg00001.html
- code http://svn.gna.org/svn/etoile/branches/libobjc_tr/

The runtime was designed with flexibility in mind (not unlike COLA),
and the object model is based on prototypes, so compiling Smalltalk
for this runtime would be really simple. Also the GNUstep libraries
(UI in particular) run on windows, mac, and linux.
