Yes, that clarifies a lot.
I don’t have any experience with Rasperry Pi, but I’m at the GNUstep 20th 
annivewrsary meeting in Dublin, with Riccardo Mottola, and he says he built 
GNUstep libraries/apps for the Raspberry Pi (on the Raspbian  operating system) 
recently, and it all just worked … building from source without any system 
specific changes required.

So, while he is away from home and can’t do anything for a few days, he’s done 
it recently and might be able to help.
If you are in a hurry, you should be able to build gnustep-core libraries and a 
few apps from source on your system.
