another patch attached. In the GNUmakefile for the SSL bundle, I found a 
-lobjc, so that it is always linked against a libobjc.so.
The problem I now have with this is the following:
I installed libobjc1 for sparc as /usr/local/lib/libgobjc1.so.0.0 and told 
gnustep-make to use this libobjc when linking using the following parameter: 
--with-objc-lib-flag=-lgobjc1
In the end result, all but the SSL bundle was linked against libgobjc1, and the 
SSL bundle was linked againt libobjc.

Attached patch just removes -lobjc. Without it, it just links against libgobjc1:
