07:56 PM Ruby Feature #17741 (Open): Ruby links to `objc` for convenience - this should be moved into a native ext

As a convenance to extension developers Ruby on macOS always links to libobjc. This could be better handled with a native ObjC extension so that one could `require 'objc'` to add this to the process.
The extension would link to libob... rickmark (Rick Mark)

04:42 PM Ruby Feature #17730: Ruby on macOS transitively links to ~150 dylibs
