What I found out (with some help !!!!) is that anything that is  
somehow, sometimes linked to libobjc.A (Apple's) will cause a  
segfault at startup (in dyld)

for example, on Tiger, gnustep-gui will crash if it uses aspell and  
if aspell is built with nls support because gettext uses  
CoreFoundation which is itself linked to libobjc.A.  configuring  
aspell with --disable-nls fix the problem.

I use 1.12.0/0.10.3 gnustep core with FSF gcc 4.1.  4.1 not only  
accepts objc++ but it alos deals better with -bundle.  I also use  
odcctool-20060123, because Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf found better  
results at objc regression tests than with Apple's tool chain.

everything should be available through darwinports soon, but I've  
been saying this for at least two weeks :-\
