			=Running an example=
			Currently the main KOS repo doesn't have pthread support added to master, for now you must have the pthreads branch rebased onto a local branch. I have gone ahead and done this on a personal fork. This shouldn't be the case forever and doing this has it's drawbacks, such as your branch falling behind the active development branch quite easily.

			You'll need to take the libgnustep-base.a, libffi.a, and the headers of each library and place them where KOS can find them. This needs to happen every time you alter the source files within those project folders.

			==== Switch to Objc branch ====
			git fetch
			git checkout origin/dc-objc
			git pull

			==== Execute the examples ====
			make ./examples/dreamcast/objc/runtime
			make ./examples/dreamcast/objc/foundation
