FreeBSD's tar does have --to-stdout, though I've never used it, so
it might be broken.

About bundle.make ... the fix didn't work, however

   $(TAR) -chf - --exclude=$(BUNDLE_DIR_NAME)/Contents/Resources \

does the trick.

Yes, it works.

There is another minor annoyance in gnustep-base's configure.
If you specify --disable-procfs, configure is still

  [...]
  checking kernel support for /proc filesystem... no
  checking link to exe of process in /proc... no
  checking /proc/96053/cmdline terminated by nul... yes
  [...]
