gnustep-base/1.19.3-2 failed to build on powerpc with the following

I believe I have addressed the issue in -3.  However, -3 FTBFS'ed on
most of the buildds as it was uploaded together with a new version of
gnustep-make, and apparently its dependency on gnustep-common is
rather loose (I'll fix this in the next -make upload, and will request
the -wb-team to schedule give-backs for the failing archs).

But now that gnustep-make_2.4.0-1 is installed on powerpc, I'd really
appreciate if you can give back gnustep-base_1.19.3-3 right now,
because I'd like to address any eventual problem ASAP (it fixes severe
security issues that were very recently disclosed publicly, so the
plan was -2 to migrate to squeeze ASAP).

Thanks!
