port lang/gnustep-base - make configure fails on ia64

[Gerald Pfeifer]

While looking for something different, I noticed this one and one or
two ideas I wanted to share:

Can you check where, if at all, these symbols may be defined? ONe
theory I have is that it's using on older version of libgcc_so instead
of the one necessary for this compiler.

Can you give a newer version of GCC a try, or does that fail on ia64
or does GNUstep fail to build, then?

If it actually works and you can submit test results to 
  gcc-testresults at gcc.gnu.org
I'd be open to adding ia64 to the list of supported platforms for
lang/gcc45.
