This has been fixed by just having a single version of the libraries.

No matter how libs, tools, bundles, etc. are compiled, they are now all compatible with each other and work fine.

Eg, you can compile gnustep-gui with debug=yes and drop it in to replace a non-debug gnustep-gui and all should still work.

Of course, it also means we can no longer have both a debug and non-debug version of the same lib installed on the system in the same GNUstep installation dir ... ;-)

This is also a problem with frameworks.

Inside a bundle, there is only one executable, so it is
either the debug=yes version or the normal version, whichever
was installed last.

When a bundle is compiled with debug=yes and a debug version of a library is found (like libgnustep-gui_d, for example), the
bundle will have a dependancy on that library.
If a program compiled without debug=no (and linked with libgnustep-gui) tries to load such a bundle, it can't, because there cannot be two versions of libgnustep-gui linked to one program (and there shouldn't be).

How to see the problem:
In a working system that has only been used without debug=yes, do a make debug=yes install inside -gui.
All programs that load a gmodel will suddenly stop working, because the newly installed version of libgmodel.bundle depends on libgnustep-gui_d, and the program depends on libgnustep-gui.
