Thanks! We are understaffed at the moment, unfortunately :-(

Yes, that's #528005. Not a bug in Debian, I'm closing it with this
message. (Explanation below.)

That's why the Debian gnustep-base package does not Build-Depend on
binutils-dev, and does not link against libbfd:
$ objdump -p /usr/lib/libgnustep-base.so | grep bfd || echo None
None
You probably have a manually built gnustep-base (either the Debian
package, or from GNUstep SVN); its configure script detected libbfd
because you had binutils-dev installed, and ended up linking against
it. When binutils was updated and libbfd's SONAME was bumped, you
essentially cannot run any program that is linked against
gnustep-base.
So, the cure is simple -- check if it is a locally built package:
$ ldd /usr/bin/GNUMail | grep gnustep-base
libgnustep-base.so.1.19 => /usr/lib/libgnustep-base.so.1.19
(0xb7540000)
If this prints /usr/local for you, just uninstall gnustep-base from
that location. If it is still /usr/lib, then you probably built
manually the Debian package -- `aptitude reinstall libgnustep-base1.19'
should fix it.

No, GNUstep Base is, and GNUMail links with -base.
