Details:

GCC 7.2.0 was used on all platforms unless otherwise specified. Here's the
summary:

Debian 5.0.7 lenny amd64 (x86_64) FAIL
Debian 6.0.10 squeeze amd64 (x86_64) FAIL
Debian 7.10 wheezy mips64 (GCC 4.6.3) build fails
Debian 7.11 wheezy amd64 (x86_64) build fails
Debian 8.9 jessie i386 (x86) PASS
Debian 8.9 jessie mips64el (GCC 4.9.2) PASS
Debian 8.10 jessie amd64 (x86_64) PASS
Debian 9.2 stretch arm64 (aarch64) FAIL
Debian 9.3 stretch amd64 (x86_64) (GCC 6.3.0) PASS
Debian 9.3 stretch i386 (x86) (GCC 6.3.0) PASS

openSUSE Leap 42.1 aarch64 FAIL

NetBSD 5.1 amd64 (x86_64) (GCC 4.8.5) configure fails

AIX 7.1 chrp (POWER7) (GCC 6.4.0) build fails
AIX 7.2 chrp (POWER8) build fails

The file tests.log contains the failed tests sorted by machines; all passed
tests and duplicated failures are stripped to improve readability. The first
patch fixes obvious testsuite failures, you might want to tweak/improve the
SKIP message(s). The second one is a quick/easy fix for the build failure on
Debian wheezy. Ideally, a better solution should be applied, see my comment
at tests.log. I made separate commits because the two patches/issues are
unrelated.

Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks a lot. I spent this morning going through these changes (along with an
older fix provided), and it all looks good to me.
I think your SKIP messages are fine.
So I applied the patches.

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #52879 (project gnustep):

Thanks.
BTW, the build failure on AIX is not a GCC bug and not an AIX-specific issue.
The struct declaration has been moved to objc-private/module-abi-8.h, hence
the error. The dynamic linker on this system lacks dladdr so LINKER_GETSYMBOL
is correctly undefined.

I guess the code should be updated to the current runtime but it seems there
are no accessor functions... You might want to look at that as Base will not
compile on any system with incapable dynamic linker.
