Same here (Sol 8).

Nope. But what exactly would you replace #!/bin/sh in the GNUstep 
scripts with? A current FreeBSD still ships with:

znek@muller:(~)$ uname -sr
FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE
znek@muller:(~)$ l /bin/*sh
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  641232 Jun 16 17:54 /bin/csh
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  454488 Jun 16 17:54 /bin/sh
-r-xr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  641232 Jun 16 17:54 /bin/tcsh

Cheers,
