The bug was added to a queue from where it should have been added to 
the bug base by an admin within 3 days. I got this information from an 
automatic mail. After the 3 days i was told that it has been dropped :| 
I did not get an reference id, like a bug number or the like. So i 
can't tell you. I am not sure any more but i guess that i've used the 
bugtracker @savannah and not this e-mail bug-gnustep@gnu.org.

for me!

i am using
  gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)
  OS X 10.3.7
  and i did not use XCode, i've just used the make variant.
  gs-make: 1.10.0
  gs-base: 1.10.0

I got the information about the configuration from
  http://www.gnustep.org/information/machines_toc.html
especially from the sections
  1.3 and 1.13.

The libxml problems did nit not occur with the hints i found from these 
readme's.
