Well, I did it because I wasn't having any luck when I had left it as
is. Additionally the README.Darwin instructions explicitly referred to
performing the link with the name "libobjc.dylib" and I was concerned
that there may be a namespace problem.

I decided to switch to gcc version 3.3.5 and these problems with
libobjc have vanished. I have built gnustep-make with the gnu-gnu-gnu
target but am wondering if I should change to apple-apple-apple
because when trying to make gnustep-base I have these errors now:

I have exported CC in my bash profile correctly to use my newly built
and installed gcc 3.3.5 separate from XCode's gcc, etc. The complaints
above such as for the Foundation class headers is a bit perplexing and
I'm not sure how to interpret this. Do I need to tweak my environment
variables in my bash profile? Or maybe I royally messed up something
else. I'm trynig to do this as much by the book according to the
documentation as possible.
