It looks like the problem is that it is providing the correct flags to pass to ld, but we are passing them to gcc. There is some ugly hackish code in gcc to pass things that look like linker options to ld when they are not correctly prefixed with -W, but it is not always complete (and its exact behaviour varies between platforms / versions). The correct thing for us to do would be to invoke ld directly, rather than via the compiler driver, but this would complicate GNUstep Make a lot (especially on Windows / Solaris / anywhere else that doesn't use GNU ld).
