Well, I'm not sure we'll succeed even without this problem. GUI is not yet built on a bunch of architectures... Reuploading Base means another round through the so called NEW queue, then rebuilding GUI and test-building all packages again. Some of the autobuilders are extremely busy these days so progress is slow. We have only few days left, and there are other transitions already approved that are entangled with GNUstep (tiff, imagemagick, poppler). But given that Pantomime also fails to build (and who knows what else, I mean third-party non-packaged stuff) perhaps it is safer to proceed with a new release and try to do the impossible to catch the deadline.
