Subject: Test results base/make gui/back building
Hi all,

I have done a lot of testing the last couple of days. Esp. to see if the build process 
of apps and GNUstep can be broken, and yes it can :)
This doesn't mean GNUstep in general is broken, but I tried to deliberatly break stuff 
by playing a real dumb user.
Maybe some stuff is already fixed in CVS, if so sorry. But I did the tests with released packages.

Used stuff:
- Debian sarge (testing)
- GNUstep base/make 1.8.0
- GNUstep gui/back 0.9.0
- Gworkspace 0.6.0
- Preferences.app CVS 21-10-2003
gnustep-make: none

gnustep-base:
On a clean installed system with libffi-2.0.0 when configuring base, and  no ffcall:
./configure halts on no libffi.
[snip]

I have attached what I think is a reasonable fix for this, though I am certainly no developer so someone may want to have a look, or it might be that this has already been fixed, also there is a small patch to debugapp for older versions of gdb; either way the patches are here if they are useful.

Regards,

Ian (Ian_J on #gnustep)
