I got this working by configuring as follows:

	CPP_PATH="gcc -E -x c" ./configure --enable-gnome 
--prefix=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT 
--with-appspath=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Applications 
--datadir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library 
--sysconfdir=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Library/Configuration 
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

Thanks,

  Andreas
