Note that clang had little to do with your problem; ld couldn't read a file that shipped with gcc (or binutils, not sure).
Because you seem to have had your system in a confusing state (incompatible versions of linker and gcc), there might be more incompatible mismatches.
"Creating XYZ/Info-gnustep.plist..." seems to involve execution of "plmerge" binary.
Are you absolutely sure that before installing GNUstep from source, you also completely cleaned every trace of it you may have had on your system? You MIGHT try something LIKE this:
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnustep-* # READ THE OUTPUT OF THIS COMMAND CAREFULLY, it's QUITE destructive. STRONGLY CONSIDER manually listing packages to remove.
WIth the above, any uninstalled package's configuration files will be removed as well.
If you never installed GNUstep from Debian packages, but did install it previously, you'll want to CAREFULLY remove traces of it manually, including and especially /etc/GNUstep.conf which will contain outdated configuration and confuse the config scripts.
> Resolution in both cases has been "we'll deploy upgraded binutils into
> Debian testing", so check that your system is fully up to date.
Thank you, upgrading worked. It is ld 2.25.90.20160101 and clang
compiler. I had a lot of old stuff so I can't tell which one fixed it.
Now Base/Foundation Library compiled OK.
Now when compiling GUI/AppKit Library I get this error:
