With today SVN r36916 for libobjc2 and GNUstep Base compiled with Clang 3.2 on 
Linux x86-32, I get the following results:

   7834 Passed tests
     21 Dashed hopes
      3 Failed tests

The failing tests are:

base/NSNotification/basic.m:
Failed test:       decoded object equals the original
Failed test:       /System/Library/Makefiles/TestFramework/ObjectTesting.h:265 
... decoded object equals the original
Failed test:       Object 0 of class 'NSNotification' copy and original are 
equal

Base was configured with --disable-mixedabi.

Cheers,
Quentin.
