Yes. Given that GCC just uses the host Linux, it really should use the host
libc++ as well, especially for iOS where, it looks like, the Dylan's are in
the firmware image on the hardware.

But I'm new to Apple stuff, even though I bought this old Mac for iOS dev a
few years back, never got very far.

Yeah, as long as we can interface to objc, but it's nice to have the option
I suppose. 

How well does Ada bind to objc? I know the objc language just calls c
functions in the objc runtime underneath.

I don't know anything about this. 

The only thing I've done with Ada so far is to test SDLAda on Mac.
