Thanks, this reduces the warnings drastically. What's left are

I have no idea how serious these warnings are. But the build runs
through now.

I don't know whether we shall commit the patch, it suppresses warnings
by default, which could be dangerous either. I'll let this to
somebody else to decide. Eli?

The good message is, that I could identify now the real problem:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [Makefile:705: temacs] Error 1
make[2]: *** [Makefile:544: src] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1260: actual-bootstrap] Error 2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

zlib is missing. I've added zlib1g-dev to the list of installation
packages for Debian, and now the GNUSTEP jobs shall run on EMBA.

Best regards, Michael.
