Apple, unfortunately, branched clang for XCode 3.2 just before I put a  
lot of fixes in.  Their next release, however, will include a version  
of clang that can target the GNU runtime properly.  To cross-compile  
for Windows / Linux / whatever you will just need copies of the  
relevant headers and to set the include paths and target triple  
correctly, so we can probably provide a plugin that does that quite  
easily.

That said, if you use svn or some other version control system from  
XCode, then it's trivial to automate building on a native platform  
already with GNUstep; just check out your svn repository and run  
pbxbuild; put this in an hourly cron job in a VM or a real machine,  
and you've got an automated build.
