It's better but not enough because with this release the libobjc shipped 
with gcc 3.2.2 has thread enabled and to compile objc sources you have 
to add -pthread to the command line.

This is correctly defined in gnustep-make/config.make[objc_threaded] but 
it is not used by the configure used by libFoundation so it fails the 
objc tests.

The switch --with-gnustep does not work and sincerely I haven't know why!

Rename it FreeBSD.mk and apply this patch to config.mk, it should work 
with other fbsd versions.

The FBSD postgres 7.3.3 port puts the includes in /usr/local/include 
instead in the subdir pgsql/ as before, so I modified the files like this:

diff -c -r1.1.1.1 EOAttribute+PostgreSQL72.h
*** EOAttribute+PostgreSQL72.h  9 Jul 2003 22:57:43 -0000       1.1.1.1

   @class NSString;

--- 28,34 ----
   #define ___PostgreSQL72_EOAttribute_H___

   #import <GDLAccess/EOAttribute.h>

   @class NSString;


The PGSQL var used in GNUmakefile is not defined and here should be 
/usr/local
