I've build:
make-1_13_0
base-1_13_0 (from branches as opposed to tags)
gui-0_11_0
back-0_11_0
gorm-1_1_0
gdl2 (trunk which I hope to release once the next wave of core releases
is out)

And these are my test results:
      2 COMPILEFAIL
COMPILEFAIL: SelfContainedHeaders/GNUstepBase/GSIArray.h.m
COMPILEFAIL: SelfTests/compile.m

I've also played a bit with GDL2 the palette in Gorm but noticed nothing
that seemed to be an issue with -base.

PS: I still believe we should adopt a naming convention for branches
which includes only major and minor version numbers and use subminor
numbers soley for taging releases from the branches.
e.g.:

.../libs/branches/base-1_11
.../libs/branches/base-1_12
.../libs/branches/base-1_13
.../libs/tags/base-1_11_0
.../libs/tags/base-1_11_1
.../libs/tags/base-1_12_0
.../libs/tags/base-1_13_0
.../libs/tags/base-1_13_1

With the current situations the identifier base-1_13_0 is ambiguous as
it is used in both branches and and tags:

.../libs/branches/base-1_13_0
.../libs/tags/base-1_13_0

and I'm not sure whether 1.13.1 release will only be tagged or whether
another release branch will also be created.
