GNUstep on 64-bit Linux - what a pain in the ass!

Oh good lord how much of a pain in the ass this has been. Just trying to get GNUstep on the Linux cluster so I can run my stuff. I decided to do my RPE in Objective-C, which is an (old) language Apple has been pushing for a while. I knew gcc would compile Objective-C code, so I figured why not? MISTAKE! Objective-C is not the problem, having the free Cocoa user-space environment (GNUstep) around it is! It's compiling now for maybe the billionth time. Hopefully it'll finish this time. Then I can post how do it (it's easy - if you find the right web page).
