 I suspected something along those lines too but wasn't sure since
 I don't have access to the build failure and didn't want to abuse
 buildd resources.

 I think it is fair to try once... I've given back gnustep-dl2 on
 kfreebsd-amd64. If it builds fine there, I'll do the same for 
 kfreebsd-i386
 and close this bug.

 Thanks for your prompt reply!
