Thank you for updating this instruction file. Is there a link to this in the 
GNUstep wiki? I understand that we should make it as easy as possible for new 
(and experienced) programmers to grab the correct instructions the first time.
For me this reoccurring build issues are one of the reasons why I do not use 
clang and the new runtime. They both develop too fast for me. It is quite 
normal that things change and from time to time they are even broken. If I 
remember correctly most of the questions on the development mailing list in 
recent years where caused by this. I prefer to spend my little time on GNUstep 
itself and not on fixing the build infrastructure. (Resulting in a less than 
optimal GNUstep environment for me.) What we need to do is minimise the pain 
for people who choose the other way.
