So maybe that particular app which is not useful for everyone (I am not a 
member of salesforce.com)
should not be a part of the 'gap' ?

I think a good approach for the beginners should allow a simple make at the 
root of the gap tree  to discover 
the basic apps.
But If some app like Databasin is blocking the whole making process, this root 
GNUmakefile in the top of the gap tree
becomes useless, and somebody guessing how to make the apps might find by hand 
what bundle to make first,
and son on.
Also, like Patryck dit it for the GNUstep core project, it would be very useful 
to supply a script to get first all the relative dependencies.

Well, I wanted to use clang because many advices at the list said it would be 
better to learn Objectice-C and create new apps with that modern compiler.
But I feel that with my RPI 32 bit, and the tests you did, I should revert to 
the 'old' GCC and make it all again,

yes. I did install those ALSA dependencies.
