the feature is not gone, it's just disabled by default because less than 1% of people were using it. GNUstep still supports it. In fact, you can even have a hybrid Cocoa/Mac OS X/GNUstep/ix86 fat binary, since the directory structures are different.

When last I used gnustep a year or two ago, a .app had a directory
structure inside relating to operating system, display backend, etc,
and finally a binary. This was to allow fat binaries or whatever they
call them, that could run the same .app on multiple OSes, if I
remember correctly. Now the binary just sits at whatever.app/whatever.
Is there a reason for this?
see above. It's still supported.
