The problem here is that his gcc (IIRC 2.95.3) couldn't handle variable
declarations in the middle of the method, without a "scope".

  {
    [...]
    [HANDLER unparsedEntityDecl: UTF8Str(name)
        [...]
    START(unparsedEntityDecl:public:system:notationName:, void,
          (id,SEL,id,id,id,id));

    if (imp != treeImp)
    [...]
  }

START() is a macro that declares sel, imp and treeImp (line 2484) so
creating a scope by adding '{' before START() and '}' after if() fixed
that problem.

Your system seems to search for an archive library (libfoo.a) but -base
is a shared library (libfoo.so).
Compiling GNUstep with 'make shared=no' might help.
