This is similar issue to what qmake suffers from. The flags that are configured when building gnustep-make will be used for gnustep-base.

I was affected by this when I tried to take a shortcut with a C23 issue (GCC-15 changed the default to it) by setting an older C standard via CFLAGS.

Now I hit another problem where adding or removing flags would help, but due to this I have to build both packages with these workarounds.

In this case an ICE from lld on the llvm profile when built against libobjc2.
