Yes this needs doing.  I find hacking gnustep-make fairly difficult too, though 
it's limpid in comparison to the opacity of cmake.
When tryiung to move people over to using clang and libobjc2, everyone seems to 
have problems with building libobjc2 because of its cmake dependency :-(

I can certainly help with discussions and patch integration for gnustep-make to 
better use clang, but almost as useful would be building libobjc2 without 
requiring cmake.
