With latest trunk:

root at c3700:~/gnustep.trunk# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=Source/obj ./Tools/obj/gdnc --help
gdnc

GNU Distributed Notification Center
--help		for help
--no-fork	avoid fork() to make debugging easy
--verbose	More verbose debug output

If I revert back to r31185:

root at c3700:~/gnustep.trunk# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=Source/obj ./Tools/obj/gdnc --help
gdnc: malloc.c:3097: sYSMALLOc: Assertion `(old_top == (((mbinptr) (((char *) &((av)->bins[((1) - 1) * 2])) - __builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd)))) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= (unsigned long)((((__builtin_offsetof (struct malloc_chunk, fd_nextsize))+((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1)) & ~((2 * (sizeof(size_t))) - 1))) && ((old_top)->size & 0x1) && ((unsigned long)old_end & pagemask) == 0)' failed.
Aborted
