 Thanks for the fast response.

 I have xcode 4.2.1, but loaded gcc-4.2 as a separate exercise because
 there was an implication in the log that gcc-3.x was deprecated (why would
 it be mentioned, otherwise), and there's no mention of LLVM GCC 4.2 or
 LLVM compiler 3.0, which are the two possibilities from Xcode 4.2.1.
 Before I installed gcc-4.2 I had tried installing gnu step-base relying on
 what was installed with xcode and got the same error messages, including:

 '':info:configure If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's
 libgcc_s and libobjc
 :info:configure can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires
 you to play
 :info:configure with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf.
 :info:configure Please refer to your compiler installation instructions
 for more help.''

 If the Macport gnu step installation depends on having Xcode 4.3
 installed, perhaps this should be stated somewhere (if it is, I missed it,
 but I can upgrade and try again).

 Here's the segment of the gnu step-base config.log that is relevant to the
 failure:

 :info:configure checking whether objc really works... no

 use the gcc-4.2 compiler which is freshly installed in /usr/bin (AFAIK,
 that is the right place). As this isn't gcc-3.x, libgcc_s and libobjc
 would seem to be irrelevant, but what equivalents for gcc-4.2 are expected
 and where should they be? There seem to be no equivalents on this machine

 4.3. (However, the portfile makes no mention of requiring gcc-4.2.) What
 does the gnustep-base main.log say? What does the gnustep-base config.log
 say?
