I highly recommend that under OS X people use Xcode from Mac App Store
(seriously, that's a one-click install).

For GNUstep work, I used VirtualBox with Ubuntu.

But if you do succeed in your quest to have a reproducibly buildable and
functional GNUstep under OS X, you'd help a lot of people iterate faster
(including, based on sights seen at devmeeting in Cambridge, a lot of core
developers).
