I wonder how you were actually configure base/gui without working obj-c, 
since it chekcs for that

Before getting GWorkspace to work, if you are working on an 
"experimental" operating system like syllable, be sure that your 
compiler has gcc support and that works.
If you install a second compiler, like gcc 4.2 or if you don't mind the 
different licenes gcc 4.7/4.8 or clang, then be sure they get used for 
all compilation and not some weird "MIX". either play with your $PATH, 
or configure/make setting CC (and CXX for certain rare applications like 
PDFKit which require C++).

Try just working with make and then compiling + testing (with make 
check) base and see that not too mamy test fail, then do the same with 
gui and then back.

I am actually curious wihich  backend you are using on Syllable.
