I haven't been able to run the GNUstep version yet myself (it compiles
by crashes at the very first call to ObjC code), but supposedly someone
did get it to run on a Debian machine (mine's also Debian, for what
it's worth).
This said, we need to figure out how to do the dump for GNUstep in any
case. As for the multi-tty preloading of win-*, I don't think it's
a problem for CANNOT_DUMP: IIUC the reason for this change is that those
win-* files prefer to be loaded "early" (e.g. before the .emacs file).
