problems building gnustep-startup on osx

[Jon Brisbin]

I just downloaded the latest gnustep-startup and tried compiling it on  
my powerbook (using darwinports' gcc4)

Everything compiles fine, but, as with my problems with GNUstep on  
Win32, it crapped out when it tried to link. I can probably get away  
with just using XCode and being careful to not use anything  
Cocoa-specific. But that won't let me use the GNUstep XML stuff, which  
I desperately need to test porting an application from Java to  
Objective-C. I'd like to be able to work on it on my PowerBook, but if  
I can't, I might not be able to do this project at all (unless I put  
PPC linux on here too, but I'd rather not do that.) It's kind of part  
work-related and part not ;-)

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! :-)
