I found the final solution.

I configured make with:

  $ ./configure --with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu --prefix=/ 
--with-layout=gnustep LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=/usr/pkg/gnu/bin/ld.gold

note the absolute path given to -fuse-ld

That way, it works and most GNUstep programs do run. Some have issues, I 
will report them specifically. I will also test then on FreeBSD for 
comparison.


As written, by disabling memory checks with "paxctl +m" on the test 
binaries, the whole test suites passes too.

So we are 99% on track with libobjc2/clang9 on NetBSD/amd64 (btw, as 
curiosity "genuine" amd64 not i386-64).
