Replacing all occurances of typeof in the following files

        pico /src/core/base/Headers/Additions/GNUstepBase/preface.h
        pico /src/core/base/Headers/Foundation/NSRange.h
        pico /src/core/base/Headers/Foundation/NSGeometry.h

with __typeof__ and reinstalling base seems to fix the problem!?

Regards,

 Andreas
