Neither do i :-(
I looks like the libgnustep-base that has just been built is incomplete...
Anyway : thanks for the time you spent on this problem

I tried with gcc 3.4.2 from MinGW and it fails too.
I re-installed mingw, msys and all libs... nothing changed...
I cant even build the old release version !!

I really dont understand anything. I give up for today :-\

With layout=fhs mine is :

gcc  -Wl,--enable-auto-import       -fgnu-runtime -o obj/autogsdoc.exe
 ./obj/autogsdoc.o ./obj/AGSParser.o ./obj/AGSOutput.o ./obj/AGSIndex.o
./obj/AGSHtml.o

-L/usr/local/lib -lxml2 -L/usr/local/lib -lz -lws2_32

 -ladvapi32 -lcomctl32 -luser32 -lcomdlg32 -lmpr -lnetapi32 -lm -I.

I tried but i cant. As i said --enable-native-objc-exceptions is only accepted
by gnustep-make configure script when i dont install gnustep-libobjc (use gcc
one instead) but then i can't build gnustep-base (i may send you more detail).
With gnustep-libobjc at least the library is built, i only cant build tools.
