You don't say what OS version you are using, nor did you include the 
log files. I'm guessing however that you are using the Apple gcc, not 
the FSF gcc. Or if you do have FSF gcc, it did not install the 
Objective-C library. You have to download and compile gcc from 
gcc.gnu.org. GNUstep can't use Apple's gcc.

(Actually, I've been able to compile, but not run, GNUstep using 
Apple's gcc that comes with Tiger, but that requires a few tweaks that 
are not included in Startup).
