I also had problems when updating; I did a sync on Wednesday (which 
only updated GNUstep by around a fortnight) on my Linux machine; no 
app would run without a recompile.  The reason seemed to be:

leeg@heisenberg:~> openapp ViewPDF.app

GNUSTEP Internal Error:
The private GNUstep function to establish the argv and environment
variables was not called.
Please report the error to bug-gnustep@gnu.org.

Of course, those apps which *would* recompile are now working 
again...those which wouldn't for whatever reason, don't until I can go 
through and work out how to build them.  Rebuilding everything is a 
bit of a time consuming chore - although of course sometimes necessary 
because of changes to core.  But such a change didn't seem to be 
flagged on Core News at gnustep.org, nor the release announcements for 
0.9.4 :-(
