Well, if you want to use gcc instead of clang, but want to use a newer 
version of gcc than the packaged one I think this is the path to follow?

Oh, plain OpenBSD 5.4, i386, matched binary packages, nothing fancy.

Well, because I am accustomed to build gnustep myself! else, how can I 
always test SVN stuff?
Also, I am so accustomed to GNUstep layout and prefix=/ that I rarely 
want to switch

libobjc1 should not be needed with gcc 4.8, it is not even needed with 4.2

On Linux Gentoo it just works out of the box, but there I have only gcc 
4.8, here I have both the system one and the port supplied one, I think 
this is the problem. I don't know how base can give preference to one 
over the other. What is even more disturbing is that they both have the 
same so-number! that's bad.
