NSPredicate test : build fail

[Bertrand Dekoninck]

Hi everyone !

I tried this morning to recompile latest base and gui on debian-jessie x86-32bit, with clang/objc2.

Make check fails with several errors.

I've got a lot of network related failed tests because I'm behin an enterprise firewall and don't have internet acces in the terminal. I think it maybe not a big deal.

To my surprise, it even fails to build some tests :

base/headers/NSComparisonPredicate.m:
Failed build:

base/headers/NSCompoundPredicate.m:
Failed build:

base/headers/NSPredicate.m:
Failed build:

See the attached extract of the log error.

I've got the same error with a snapshot of base downloaded yertersday before the last commit on base.

GUI failes to build at all, with an error related to NSPredicate :

Is this local or is it broken ?
