is clearly wrong.  You don't really want everything that uses Base to be
linked with ICU, Avahi, GnuTLS, libxslt, libffi, etc.    I don't really
understand the rationale for removing the make conditional -- if GUI needs ICU
(as it does), it needs to check for ICU itself (as it does).  There's no need
for Base to impose the libraries it uses to other packages.  Furthermore,
literally everything fails to build if built in a chroot or with special
linker flags, for example Cynthiune:

gcc -shared  -rdynamic     -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/cynthiune.app -pthread -shared-libgcc -fexceptions -o
./MP3.format/./MP3 ./obj/MP3.obj/xing.c.o ./obj/MP3.obj/MP3.m.o     
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib   -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu 
-lmad  -lid3tag -lz   
-L../../Frameworks/Cynthiune/Cynthiune.framework/Versions/Current -lCynthiune 
 -lgnustep-gui    -lgnustep-base    -lobjc   -lavahi-common -lavahi-client 
-lgnutls  -lgcrypt -lxslt -lxml2 -lffi  -lrt -ldl  -lpthread -lz -licui18n
-licuuc -licudata  -lm
