During configure phase, build fails at the following point: checking whether objc really works... no I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce working binaries! Please check your Objective-C compiler installation. If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and libobjc can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf. Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help. configure: error: The Objective-C compiler does not work or is not installed properly.

Created attachment 336924 [details] Build log of a failed merge attempt.
Thanks for the report, can you send the config log also? This will show the actual gcc error: !!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /var/tmp/portage/gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.0-r1/work/gnustep-base-1.24.0/config.log
Created attachment 337204 [details] config log Here's the config log. I forgot to attach it earlier. Sorry about that.

Everything builds now.
Marking fixed thanks to gnustep-updater then :)
