Thanks!

configure fails to find GNUstep requirements. There's a script to
source which sets up the environment for GNUstep builds, but it makes
no difference. The only thing that allows it to continue is to use
"CC=clang".

I imagine it's my build environment, but I followed the GNUstep
instructions from their wiki and I can't work out how to get it to
work.

I should probably ask them.

I'd rather be sure it's not just me being useless before making any
official notice.
