Maybe you don't have Nicola's new make yet ? I guess that gstep-make >= 
1.3.0 does support headers for any project type (because so much can be 
shared between makefiles :-) ?

Anyway, the problem with headers and bundles is, that headers are almost 
always used to export symbols (usually ObjC classes, but also global 
variables) and bundles are not explicitly linked. Because of that it is 
very likely that binaries importing those headers break because of 
unresolvable references.
(this is less a problem with GNU runtime, but more with NeXT/Apple 
runtime because the GNU runtime links ObjC classes using a global 
hashtable and constructor functions, not using link references like the 
NeXT runtime AFAIK does [IMHO this is a GNU runtime bug with some 
performance implications ...]).
