porting GNUStep to yocto (embedded Linux)

[Michael Silva]

I am attempting to port GNUstep to the yocto project (yoctoproject.org) for use 
in embedded GNU/Linux systems.

Yocto provides an environment to run autotools on open source packages.

When I run gnustep-base's autotools it crashes here:

| config/objc-con-autoload.m4:1: error: AC_LANG_COMPILER: unknown language: 
_AC_LANG

I'm pretty inexperienced w/ autotools scripts, so I'm not sure where to start.  
What are the best resources for diagnosing this issue?

Thanks,
