Short update: I compiled/installed now from svn trunk, gnustep-base,
-back, and -gui.
The problem persists, the App icon shows up, but then the application
still throws those errors.
Also from compiling gnustep-base, I still get those warnings above,
nearly on everything. I did not got it when compiling gnustep-gui. Now
probably time to take a look into the tests, and NSInvocation...
