I haven't installed (from source) gnutils so far. But is that to related to the 
problem I am having (see below)?

I have tried to remove GSPrivateHash.m from 

                pico ./build/gnustep-base-1.24.6/Source/GNUmakefile

as suggested here http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41952 but still get the same 
error!? :-(

        cd /usr/src/gnustep-startup-0.32.0/build/gnustep-base-1.24.6
        make clean
        make

Installing the latest GNUstep on CentOS does not seem to be that easy after 
all!? :-(

Hints and help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
