Compiling Objective-C files with gcc-4.7 on OSX with core core Apple libraries such as Foundation.h

I somehow cannot compile Objective-C files with GCC 4.7, which include any major OSX libraries, such as:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

The resulting error always leads to a strange GCC output:

gcc -c -pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -mmacosx-version-min=10.8 -Wall -W  -I/usr/local/Cellar/qt/4.8.4/mkspecs/macx-g++ -I../TerrainFluid -I../TerrainFluid/external -I../TerrainFluid -I. ../TerrainFluid/external/osx_bundle.mm -o osx_bundle.o

The way to solve this problem was to simply use the Apple compiler for Objective-C and g ++ (4.7) files for the rest of the code.

gcc -> /usr/bin/llvm-gcc
g++ -> /usr/local/bin/g++-4.7

I would use clang for all the code, but it does not yet support OpenMP, and gcc-4.2 does not support C ++ 11.

Here is an example of the file I used (this is the OSD Wildfire Games bootloader). I read on a blog that Apple implemented the GCC blocker to stop compiling with GCC.
