     This is your procedure for building GNUstep with gcc 3.x?  If so,
this could be the cause of your problems.  I found that if you try to use
gnustep-objc with gcc 3.x that a critical callback to register ObjC
classes with NSBundle as they're loaded does not get called.  That could
definitely cause a coredump if you tried to load a gmodel.
     I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE and gcc 3.2.1 built from ports with
'make -DWANT_THREADS_SUPPORT' works just fine.  Do not use gnustep-objc,
and just install GNUstep as normal.  Works well.
     (But has anybody got gcc 3.2.1 compiled on Solaris 2.6?)
