Cool ... thanks for the report :-)

I think the main difference with my build (which was OK) is that you are
using debug=yes and you are linking against libiconv and zlib ... I built
without debugging and I didn't link against any auxiliary lib.

Obviously it looks like when you use the auxiliary libs something goes
wrong ;-) ... I'll try again tomorrow linking with the auxiliary libs.



NB: For everyone who wants to try it out, since I forgot to say it in the
email, make sure you use the latest mingw/msys release, and also you need
to refetch gnustep-objc.

In practice, rebuild everything from scratch and refetch all packages and 
sources.

Thanks
