Read the GNUstep-HOWTO in the gnustep-make package, or try

No. The current problem is that the gnustep-base library has not been 
ported. Part of the problem is the compiler on the current release has 
bugs affecting __builtin functions. This has been disabled (which will 
probably cause several things not to work). Additionally there seem to 
be some other problems (memory?, alignment? I'm not really sure) that 
cause prgrams to crash. AFAIK I'm the only one doing fixes on it now, 
and I don't plan to do any more work until I can find a commited Darwin 
developer who can help out.
