Wolfgang is always a steap ahead of me :)

Sure, but I tried to change it the leat possible:

First, I configured make with:
./configure --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu prefix=/ --with-layout=gnustep

Then, in libobjc2, with "ccmake ." I changed some parameters:

 CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS                  -march=i686 -mtune=i686
 CMAKE_C_FLAGS                    -march=i686 -mtune=i686

(these are necessary so that gcc does nto need external libatomic, 
causing other issues)

And I tried fiddling with the linker:
 CMAKE_LINKER                     /usr/pkg/gnu/bin/ld.gold

but using bfd did not improve things either

ineed, running "make test" has all tests fail, and I see:

/home/multix/code/libobjc2/Build/libobjc.so.4.6: text relocations
/home/multix/code/libobjc2/Build/libobjc.so.4.6: Cannot write-enable 
text segment: Permission denied
<end of output>

So this has nothing with base, but libobjc2 is broken by itself.
