gnustep make packaging issue

Hello

Im trying to update my gnustep2 packages for Debian13

As Debian 13 comes with gnustep with the old GNU runtime which is 
incompatible with modern objective C technologies such as ARC, I always 
have to build separate packages.

To separate them from the old runtime so they could coexist on a Linux 
system, I use separate directory layouts so applications with old and 
new runtimes could coexist.

This worked for many years but now with Debian13 I run into the issue 
that GNUstep make always adds -DGNUSTEP_RUNTIME=1 and thus subsequent 
code fails to compile as it thinks it uses the old runtime.


The setup is like this:

export CC="/usr/bin/clang"
export CXX="/usr/bin/clang++"
export PREFIX="/"
export 
PATH="/usr/GNUstep2/System/Tools:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/"
export RUNTIME_VERSION="gnustep-2.0"
export OBJCFLAGS="-fblocks"
export GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN="SYSTEM"

     ./configure \
             --with-layout=gnustep2 \
             --disable-importing-config-file \
             --enable-native-objc-exceptions \
             --enable-objc-arc \
             --enable-install-ld-so-conf \
             --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu \
             --with-config-file=/etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf \
             --with-user-config-file='.GNUstep.conf' \
             --with-user-defaults-dir='GNUstep/Library/Defaults' \
             --with-objc-lib-flag="-l:libobjc.so.4.6"


especially the RUNTIME_VERSION environment variable and 
the --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu should enforce the newer runtime.

but when I install gnustep make and then run

# /usr/GNUstep2/System/Tools/gnustep-config --objc-flags
-MMD -MP -DGNUSTEP_RUNTIME=1 -D_NONFRAGILE_ABI=1 
-DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1 -fno-strict-aliasing -fexceptions 
-fobjc-exceptions -D_NATIVE_OBJC_EXCEPTIONS -pthread -fPIC -Wall 
-DGSWARN -DGSDIAGNOSE -Wno-import -fblocks -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-2.0 
-fblocks -I. -I/root/GNUstep/Library/Headers -I/usr/local/include

this is especially troublesome:

-DGNUSTEP_RUNTIME=1  && -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-2.0  ??


Does anyone have an idea whats wrong with GNUstep make here or how this 
could be worked around?
