Hi Adam,

You're right, there was no objc_threaded library. I had to specify 
--with-thread-lib="-L /usr/lib -lpthread" on my Debian system when 
recompiling gnustep-make.

Maybe there is something wrong in the GNUstep make 1.5.0 configure 
script, because the pthread lib was in /usr/lib, so it should have been 
found. This would slightly ease the process of installing GNUstep-make. 
I would also add that some Unixes (like Darwin) do not have a pthread 
lib, because it seems like the pthreads are defined within the system 
library, and I'm not sure GNUstep would be thread-enabled in this case.

Thanks a lot for your advice anyway, because I now have a working port 
of my application :)
