Hi Gerald

It's been a while, so I'll need some time to remember where I was
and why I needed gnustep in the first place.

For now I got these built and installed:

gcc-3.4.6_3,1
gnustep-base-1.19.3_3
gnustep-make-2.4.0

on r209586.

When I try to do "make test" in gnustep-base I get :

# make test
cd: can't cd to /usr/ports/lang/gnustep-base/work/gnustep-base-1.19.3/Testing
Makefile:9: *** missing separator.  Stop.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/gnustep-base.
#

I'll also try to build gcc42/43/44/45/46 again, will let you know.

I think what I really want is lapack95, which requires
gcc-4.4.5, so I'try to build it again and report.

many thanks for keeping an eye on ia64.
