OK, I did 'svn up' in the core/base/ directory and then run commands:
./configure --with-ffi-include=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/
successfully but running
make 
get errors:
 Linking library libgnustep-base ...
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libz.a(crc32.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile
with -fPIC

clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see

My system is Debian GNU/Linux SID.

I have downloaded zlib from here:
http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.5.tar.gz

and installed it because Etoile need it.

I want to install GNUstep from svn because I want to install Etoile. I'm
following instructions from here:
http://etoileos.com/downloads/installtrunk/
