Hm. We don't support mixing lesstif and openmotif either. Is libfoundation
incompatible with gnustep-base?
While not an expert on gnustep, I think the differences are not just
different implementations of the same API/ABI, I believe the libs are
supposed to have different APIs. Many applications (all?) require
specific libcombos to be built against.
Anyway, here's an idea:
Put binaries in unflattened %{_libdir}/GNUstep/* and symlink to /usr/bin.
Binaries are probably not an issue, IMHO there are just some bugs in
gnustep's implementation of the FHS (like /usr/bin/x86_64 subdirs,
which we must truncate back).
