Seems complicated (but all Debian/Ubuntu packaging is);  but libobjc-4.3
should be fine.  I've no idea what the "gobjc" package is.

Do you mean ogo_gnustep-make?  The gnustep-make that came from the
download site?

Correct.  I assume libfoundation is libfoundation11-1.1.7 or the like.

No, it doesn't fix the timestamp issue;  it is just required to use 8.3
with OGo.  Between 8.3 and previous versions PostgreSQL changed how they
handle casting of value types.

Yes, it runs on 8.3 here, and elsewhere.  I have no idea about Ubuntu
but it shouldn't matter - there is nothing magical about distributions,
just repackaging of the same stuff.  Both previously related issues with
the same error were the result of ABI/version issues I believe.  Do you
possibly have GNUStep stuff installed and something is picking that up
and linking to it?
