I can confirm that
a) the test also fail on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
b) configure warns about
*************** Warning ****************
The mframe software has not been ported to x86_64.
Using information from unknown.
****************************************
*************** Warning ****************

c) the build warns about
 Compiling file mframe.m ...
mframe.m: In function ‘mframe_build_signature’:
mframe.m:160: warning: field precision should have type ‘int’, but
argument 3 has type ‘long int’

(Though I'm not sure whether those warnings are relevant to the test
suite failure yet).  So I guess it's fair to say that gnustep currently
does not fully support x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu yet.

I'll try to look into it soonish if no one beats me to it.

Cheers,
