Thanks a lot. I did

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.gnustep.org:/cvsroot/gnustep update -Pd core

and tried to rebuild base which failed with the following error.

Linking library libgnustep-base ...

I remember to have already seen this error months ago but can't remember the solution. If I am not mistaken this had been fixed by another fix in the source tree by someone. Any ideas?
