Hi, It appears that x11/gnustep/base is broken in the current macppc bulk:

The diff belows proposes a fix for the above message, that allows base to build [0]. So i tried to run several objective-c binaries provided by base, and they all segfault, i'm attaching a backtrace. Some committed PRs [1] [2] should have fixed the issue, so i also tried an update to base-1.27.0, to no avail. I'm proposing here a diff that fixes make and mark base broken. Comments/feedback are welcome, Charlène.
