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!
