Well, wrt the sources, you can and probably should use the gnustep- 
make from the GNUstep website. BUT wrt the binaries (configured  
gnustep-make!) we need to have two different GNUstep makes (installed  
into different locations) because we configure GNUstep in a different  
way.

OGo with this library combo:
   gnu-fd-nil (GNU ObjC runtime, libFoundation library, no GUI)

while the default gstep-make will be configured like this:
   gnu-gnu-gnu (GNU ObjC runtime, GNUstep-Base Library, GNU GUI)

Of course the longterm goal is to move OGo to GNUstep Base and drop  
libFoundation. Maybe we'll manage this year, maybe not ;-)

Summary: the resulting package must be named ogo-gnustep or  
something, but the source tree can be the upstream sources from the  
GNUstep site.

Greets,
