Sure.

Compilation now works. But the result is not perfect:
5661 Passed tests
  16 Failed tests
  14 Dashed hopes

The 16 failing tests are

Running base/NSBundle/general.m...
Failed test:     general.m:21 ... +bundleForLibrary: makes a bundle  
for us
Failed test:     general.m:24 ... -principalClass returns NSObject for  
the +bundleForLibrary:gnustep-base
Failed test:     general.m:40 ... -classNamed returns the correct class
Failed test:     -resourcePath returns a string
Failed test:     general.m:46 ... we can set and get gnustep bundle  
version
Failed test:     general.m:48 ... -load behaves properly on the  
gnustep bundle
Failed test:     general.m:52 ... -executablePath returns an  
executable path (gnustep bundle)
Failed test:     general.m:64 ... -executablePath returns an  
executable path (real bundle)
Failed test:     general.m:69 ... +bundleWithIdentifier returns  
correct bundle

Running base/NSBundle/resources.m...
Failed test:     resources.m:44 ...  
+pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory: works
Failed test:     resources.m:51 ...  
+pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory:withVersion: works
Failed test:     resources.m:56 ... - 
pathsForResourcesOfType:inDirectory: returns an array
Failed test:     resources.m:60 ... - 
pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory: finds a file
Failed test:     resources.m:73 ... - 
pathForResource:ofType:inDirectory: with nil type finds a file
Failed test:     resources.m:82 ... -pathForResource:ofType: finds a  
file

Running base/NSNumberFormatter/basic.m...
Failed test:       basic.m:43 ... allowsFloat error
Expected 'Floating Point not allowed' and got '(null)'

All tests succeed after executing sudo -E make install.
