Thank you for keeping the poor old GNUstep port in your thoughts.

It's bad form to test headers with grep, I installed something more
autoconf-ish.

It still doesn't actually build for me though:

temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap

never (?) returns.

But it seems like GNUstep in Debian testing is in an inconsistent state
right now, maybe this is related.

 /usr/bin/ld: warning: libobjc.so.2, needed by
   /usr/lib/libgnustep-gui.so, may conflict with libobjc.so.3

Anyway, it might be nice if GNUstep builds could be added to
emacs-buildstatus. On a Debian system, all you need to do is
apt-get install gnustep-devel; configure --with-ns.
