A simple gcc should be enought.

Something like:

export 
GS_LIB=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/$GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU/$GNUSTEP_HOST_OS/$LIBRARY_COMBO

gcc -objc -g -Wall -o my-objc-pgm  my-objc-pgm.m \
    -L$GS_LIB -L/usr/lib -lgnustep-base  -lobjc  -lpthread 



But  since it's  easier to  type make  rather than  gcc and  all these
options, I usually put it into a small Makefile anyway.
