exactly, it is gcc runtime, gcc 4.8

I'm still unsure what is happening here. IN any case the call is

#ifdef HAVE_NS
  ns_pool = ns_alloc_autorelease_pool ();
#ifdef NS_IMPL_GNUSTEP
  /* GNUstep stupidly resets our locale settings after we made them.  */
  fixup_locale ();
#endif

which is way later than my call to GSInitalizeProcess().

Perhaps the setup is not partial?
Why do you think there is an "alloc" forwarding problem? I see that the 
alloc triggers an autorelease and that is the message... but I guess you 
saw something I am missing.

#1  0xbb4442c9 in -[NSObject autorelease] (self=0x8f57650,     
_cmd=0xbb6f6440 <_OBJC_SELECTOR_TABLE+32>) at NSObject.m:1633

is this line:

  (*autorelease_imp)(autorelease_class, autorelease_sel, self);
