Hi David

I am not trying to avoid that.  This just happens when you try to build
gnustep-base from ports unless you specify GCC34 explicitly.

I think I have now discovered the problem, though not the solution.  This is
a section of a mail I sent earlier:

It looks like this earlier error might have something to do with the problem
linking to libgnustepbase that causes the builds to die later on.
---------------------------------------
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libcallback.a(misc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libcallback.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
---------------------------------------

Do you know anything about this? I believe it is something to do with shared
libraries on amd64 but I'm not sure what I am able do about it.
