gnustep-base-1.5.2 test on solaris2.7

[Unknown]

I tested gnustep-*-1.5.2 on a few systems. Please don't release 1.6.0 yet,
because 1.5.2 does not install on darwin (gnu-gnu-gnu) out of the box!

On sparc-solaris2.7, I had to use a compiler with Suns native assembler
and linker: When compiled with binutils 2.13, the resulting
libgnustep-base.so didn't work. It had something to do with -lz during the
link process of the library which is not done when using the native
linker. Perhaps this problem only exists on my machine, but if somebody
else sees the same, it should definitely go into HOW-TO.
Most of the tests in subdirectory Testing work, nsconnection allows
sending (and receiving) structs to ix86-linux, only nsdata fails:

Mapped 14003 bytes
Copied 14003 bytes

Copied 14003 bytes
Extended by 11 bytes to 14014 bytes
data with shmID gives data length 14014
Encoded data into archive
Decoded data from archive - length 14014
obj/nsdata: Uncaught exception NSMallocException, reason: Unable to create
shared memory segment - Invalid argument.

This problem can't be seen on linux, irix and darwin

Could somebody review the tests: Some don't compile (nsdate), some seem
quite buggy (nsbundle, nsbasic, nstimezone), some don't "talk"
(nsfilemanager) and some I simply don't understand (call, string,...)

I finally run the gnustep-tests-1.4.0: The results are attached
To run them, I had to install guile (NOT the recommended version 1.6,
this
should be changed to 1.4.1), and gnustep-guile, which at the moment
doesn't compile without changes (link_base.m)
XML is not installed, that's why a few tests fail. Tell me, if it's
absolutely necessary to do tests with XML.
