You mean -baseadd not -base right?  If not, you'll need to configure 
-make with:
./configure --with-library-combo=gnu-gnu-gnu (or just 'gnu' for short)
(deleted extra info as I just spotted Nicola's reply.)

You're currently trying to build for 'apple-apple-apple' which means, 
you want Apple's ObjC runtime, Apple's Foundation and Apple's AppKit.  
Then you don't want to build -base but only -baseadd.  (I think this is 
done with make add=yes but it may allready be the default on 
apple-apple-apple).

Now it seems that the include-path looks like:

GSCompatibility.m: #include "GSCompatibility.h"
GSCompatibility.h: #ifdef NeXT_Foundation_LIBRARY  < And the log above 
shows that it is indeed defined.
GSCompatibility.h: #include "gnustep/base/GNUstep.h"
GNUstep.h: defines RELEASE and all the other missing declarations, if 
GNUSTEP isn't defined which it doesn't seem to be.

Also the log shows:
-I../Headers

I'm not sure why your getting this problem.  Could you "debug" the 
include-path above?

Cheers,
David
