I gave it a try on the MIPS JZ4780 CI20 board (where HDMI is working since last 
week with a v5.9 kernel) with Debian Bullseye.
Here are some experiences:

1. curl wasn't installed to start the command - but that is easy to fix
2. the script still prints "Get sudo and curl..." - which must have been 
installed before
3. started cloning a lot of files
4. there was one message about "warning: Pulling without specifying how to 
reconcile divergent branches is discouraged." (Cloning into 'tools-make')
5. it did install gobjc-10 and clang-9 (and some more packages)
6. succeeds: ======== Installing Make...
7. fails: ======== Installing libobjc2...

  for example:

  [  6%] Building ASM object CMakeFiles/objc.dir/block_trampolines.S.o
  [  6%] Building ASM object CMakeFiles/objc.dir/objc_msgSend.S.o

6. continues despite earlier errors: ======== Installing libpwq...
7. fails ======== Installing libdispatch...

  for example:

  CMake Error at

    CMakeLists.txt:64 (find_package)

8. continues: ======== Installing Base...

  configure: WARNING: You are running configure with the link options 
(-fuse-ld=gold ) set to a different value from that used by gnustep-make 
(-fuse-ld=gold).  To avoid conflicts/problems, reconfigure/reinstall 
gnustep-make to use LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=gold  or run the gnustep-base configure 
again with your LDFLAGS environment variable set to -fuse-ld=gold

  Do you notice the space character after "-fuse-ld=gold"?

The build continues a little with some more fatal errors but leaves me not with 
a working system.
The main reason seems to be system dependencies.

So I am not sure if this approach can solve all installation issues...

Another question that came to my mind is how to update such an installation. Do 
I have to reinstall?
Can I run it again? There are no packages installed?

So maybe a better strategy would be to provide a package repository with the 
latest packages
and provide templates e.g. for /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnustep.list

Then simply instruct users to run: apt-get update; apt-get install gnustep

Well, that would be orthogonal to your idea to support multiple BaseOS with a 
single script.

So far my first experiences with the script.
Summary:
* good idea
* failed to create a working setup
* leaves questions about how to install upgrade

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
