Thanks to everybody for your help.

That might be difficult since my GNUstep installation is managed by
the ports system, which tracks releases rather than the trunk. Is
there a way to get two versions of GNUstep to coexist peacefully on
the same system?

Also, regarding the problem configuring gnustep-make with
--enable-native-objc-exceptions: I emailed the port's maintainer, and
he mentioned that he got the same result on his FreeBSD system. It
looks like a gcc bug to me, but can anyone confirm it on a non-FreeBSD
OS? Specifically, if you look at the output of ldd for a binary
compiled from a .c file using '-x objective-c', libgcc is listed after
libc. But if you rename the same file with a .m extension and compile
it without the -x option, libgcc is listed before libc.
