Turns out my local gnustep install has somehow broken in the weeks since 
I last used it (maybe something to do with the recent debian/unstable 
multilib move ...or more likely just something silly I did), so this is 
without testing, but my current feeling is the patch is wrong, it seems 
excessively fugly to grep through a header like that.
AFAICS gnustep-config will happily output -fobj-exceptions or not as 
necessary automatically (and appropriate include path flags too to find 
headers) for us. So IMO configure should just be calling that, a bit 
like pkg-config is used.
