The traditional solution, by the way, is to install gnustep-make twice  
(I'm mentioning
mostly for when the discussion gets archived and people may be  
searching it for
answers).

First, you install gnustep-make.

cd core/make
./configure
make install

Then, you compile libobjc/libobjc2.

cd dev-libs/libobjc (or libobjc2)
make
make install

Then, you reconfigure and reinstall gnustep-make.

cd core/make
./configure
make install

Your solution is more elegant, even if reconfiguring/reinstalling  
gnustep-make
might be easier to do for the average user. :-)

Thanks
