objc/typedstream.h has been deprecated in 4.6.0 and will be removed in the next
GCC release.  There is no point in trying to fix a bug in it.

Please use gnustep-base or some other Foundation-type library if you need
serialization/deserialization of objects!  gnustep-base has wonderful support
for that, in many different shapes and forms! :-)

Thanks
