I reinstalled a fresh new FreeBSD VM and did install the package gnustep-base 
again.

Now  /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Tools/gnustep-config returns absolutely nothing:

$  /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Tools/gnustep-config --objc-libs
$  /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Tools/gnustep-config --objc-flags

WTF. Like every time I try to use gnustep on any system there is some magic 
thing happening <somewhere> which screws up my builds. I've now tried on 6 
different OS versions/build environments. I think the gnustep-make / build 
environment is so delicate that it's time to rethink it seriously. Otherwise 
Gnustep can never become mainstream.

It's a mystic combination of compiler version, linker, environment-variables,  
gnustep-make config files. This is a recipe for failure.

And I'm only talking about gnustep-base/libobjc2 , not  even gui or anymore 
difficult dependencies. Just really basic stuff.
