apple-apple-apple is for when you want to use all Apple/Cocoa stuff, 
but just need a few of the additional things that GNUstep offers (for 
compiling GSWeb, for instance).

Well this error is what you get when gnustep-base thinks it is 
compiling with apple-apple-apple, but since you are using GNU gcc, it 
can't find the Apple Foundation headers.  So, yes, there is something 
messed up.  Make sure you really did compile gnustep-make with 
gnu-gnu-gnu. You have to do this explicitly on OSX:

cd make
./configure --with-library-combo=gnu-gnu-gnu

Then make sure to source GNUstep.sh after you have installed 
gnustep-make.
