GNUstep and libobjc detection

[Dennis Leeuw]

Hi all,

A couple of people mentioned it before, but I do it again. When building
gcc from scratch in /usr/local libobjc.so is stored in it's own
subdirectory. One way or the other GNUstep sometimes doesn't seem to
find the library when running ./configure.

A solution might be to use gcc -print-file-name=libobjc.so and strip
libobjc.so from the result and add the found directory to the configure
scripts lib dirs. This solution is more or less already availble in
configure, but commented out.

Why and what might be a rock solid solution to this problem?
