I suppose the idea here is that, if you are building on top of
gnustep-base, you have no need to access system dependent headers ...
gnustep-base itself needs that, and it uses autoconf to manage it.

If you need to make system dependent #include/#import, perhaps you might
actually need autoconf ... 

you can add a -D<system> easily yourself - if you need - by adding stuff
like

ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS += -DGNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU=\"$(GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU)\"

or perhaps

ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS += -D$(GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU) 

or maybe

ifeq ($(findstring linux, $(GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS)), linux)
  ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS += -Dlinux
else ifeq ($(findstring solaris, $(GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS)), solaris)
  ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS += -Dsolaris
else ifeq ...

fi

but I'm not really sure how much useful that would be.

(Forgot to thank for the comments :-) - always useful to know what users
think.)
