No - sorry that the followups did not go to the list. It turns out I am 
not compiling gnustep-objc on Cygwin with the Startup script. When 
Bernd did this manually (following the README.Cygwin file), it worked.

The problem with the multiple subprojects is only in the CVS version of 
base, not the recent release versions.
