Thank you Adrian.  This is my env, generally speaking, it's Gentoo
2005.1 with gcc 3.4.4 and gnustep from `ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge
gnustep-env'.

I googled for a while after that reply, and found the same suggestion
as you gave.  It works for compiling *.m to *.o, but there're
still error messages when gcc links *.o to `temacs', all are "undefined
reference to whatwhatwhat".  I added `-lobjc' to the gcc link
command line, some errors gone, but still many like "undefined
reference to NSxxx" and "undefined reference to
__objc_class_name_NSxxx".  I searched the GNUStep directory, found
no *.a but only *.so.  I'm stuck here.

Try editing nextstep/compile and add

  -fconstant-string-class=NSConstantString

to the CFLAGS variable setting for the GNUstep case.  Then rm ../
config.log and invoke ./compile again.  (The other warnings are "OK"..)

At one point I needed that flag when compiling it under GNUstep, but
then I stopped needing it and I'd assumed that it was because of some
other flag settings rendering it unnecessary -- but it looks like I
might have been wrong.  What OS and gcc version are you running?
What version of gnustep?
