Caleb,

I went through the bother of rpm upgrading yesterday morning.  I call it 
that because of the various dependencies involved...  With the installation 
of gcc3-3.0.4-0.4mdk, GNUstep core compiles and is running perfectly.

According to /var/log/messages, I installed the following:

 gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.4-0.4mdk
 gcc3.0-3.0.4-0.4mdk
 gcc3.0-c++-3.0.4-0.4mdk
 libobjc3.0-3.0.4-0.4mdk
 gcc3.0-objc-3.0.4-0.4mdk

 binutils-2.11.92.0.12-6mdk --- gcc wanted updated binutils
 libbinutils2-2.11.92.0.12-6mdk
 libdb3.3-3.3.11-7mdk
 glibc-2.2.4-24mdk

 setup-2.2.0-23mdk --- needed because of glibc update
 initscripts-6.40.2-25mdk
 proftpd-1.2.5-0.rc1.4mdk
 glibc-devel-2.2.4-24mdk


The rpms can be found on cooker mirrors, a.k.a. mandrake-development.  In 
my case I used the wgeet command to get them from the ftp server at 
indiana.edu.  To simplify things, I used the following one line shell script:

wget -nd -c 
"ftp://ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/mandrake/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/$1*";

Good luck!
