src/Makefile.in uses this fragment for GNUstep builds:

    /* Pull in stuff from GNUstep-make. */
    FOUNDATION_LIB=gnu
    GUI_LIB=gnu
    include @GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES@/Additional/base.make
    include @GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES@/Additional/gui.make
    shared=no

AFAICS, all of this has no effect at all:

1) None of the stuff defined in gui.make is used in src/Makefile.

2) The only thing that is used from base.make is $CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBS
(via NS_IMPL_GNUSTEP_TEMACS_LDFLAGS). However, base.make only sets
CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBS if shared=no, and because the above fragment only
sets shared _after_ including base.make, CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBS is never set.

So this stuff seems not to be doing anything useful.

Is anyone actually building the GNUstep port and able to confirm this?

TIA.
