You can 'fix' that by adding -lgcc or -lgcc_s

As you say, the gnustep make system is hard to get in and the principal
thing I did when building on darwin was to add LDFLAGS everywhere which
can't be a final solution.
I did begin to add flags in the system makefiles and got some results
but I ended up at a point where a more global view of the makefiles
was needed.
