For what its worth, we do build libobjc.so now.

We *need* the pic libobjc library for amd64.  It is needed for ia64 as
well, but I'll let Marcel decide whether he wants to build a .so or not.

Without this, building certain ports that use objc have fatal errors.

This has been in RELENG_5 for a while and will be included in 5.4-RELEASE.  It 
was not shipped in 5.3-REL.

I think we should be building shared libobjc.so.1 everywhere.
