I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice.  My interpretation would be that, 
as long as you are dynamic linking or shipping the object code so that your 
customers can link against a modified version of GNUstep, then it's fine.  If 
your company owns any patents (not just software patents), then you should 
probably ask a lawyer what happens if one of your customers decides to accept 
LGPLv3 on one of the versions of GNUstep that you ship (I've asked 3 lawyers 
and got 3 different answers though, so it might not be very informative).
