This problem was most likely caused when Richard removed the definition 
of MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED from GSVersionMacros.h. His reasoning 
was that this macro never gets used in the GNUstep code, which as now is 
obvious wasn't the case.
At about the same time Ivan replaced the local definitions of the 
version macros in CFBase.h with an include of GSVersionMacros.h, because 
they did no longer match the GNUstep base ones.
Most likely it will be sufficient to define MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED 
after that, if it hasn't already been defined by the compiler.
