which_lib is not supposed to detect libraries ... it's a tool for 
selecting which of a variety
of GNUstep libraries to use depending on user specified options.
For instance, If debug=yes, it selects the debug version of the gnustep 
library, otherwise it selects
a non-debug version.

Putting libobjc_d.dylib in the correct directory 
(/opt/GNUstep/System/Libraries/powerpc/darwin I guess)
should do fine.

Generally, the location of a GNUstep library should be
  root/Libraries/$(GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU)/$(GNUSTEP_HOST_OS)
or
  root/Libraries/$(GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU)/$(GNUSTEP_HOST_OS)/$(LIBRARY_COMBO)

where 'root' is $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT or $GUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT or 
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT

Since a debug version of libobj is not standard, it should probably go 
in the
$GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT or $GUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT directory ... the latter if 
more than one user is
intended to have access to it.
