but the other way I'd have to:
install gnustep-make (which would pick up the system libobjc)
then install libobjc2 with the GNUMakefile
then reconfigure gnustep-make (in order to pick up the libobjc2 runtime)
then go on with others

For me packaging, the reconfigure gnustep-make step always caused me headaches. 
I never got it right to and sane in a way to not 
unbelieavably overcomplicate the whole process of that packaging.

My way of doing it may be lousy, but is easy, and just works for me ;)
