 There was a trick however, the first time I had to write manually some file, WRPInfo.plist if I remember well, and then it was used.
 I don't do anything on this app since 2 years ago so I don't remember well, but I am pretty sure I had nothing more to do.
 And the result was a perfectly Mac OS X app build with GNUstep make.

 Add a wrapping Xcode project (in addition to the GNUstep makefile) and configure it to compile directly on OSX for OSX using the OSX Cocoa frameworks.
 You can share the sources e.g. through SVN.

 This means that you have a gcc version on your Linux machine that emits executables that run on OSX. Unfortunately, OSX uses MACH-O binaries and building a cross-compiling gcc is very tricky.
 So I would not consider this as a reasonable option.
