That's interesting ...I don't think gnustep-make really knows about/supports 
the option of using clang with the gcc runtime.
If you use gnu-gnu-gnu as the library combo, it's expecting gcc and the gnu 
runtime
If you use ng-gnu-gnu as the library combo, it's expecting clang and the 
gnustep/objc2 runtime
If someone is really determined they can override compiler/flags, but I don't 
trust my ability to get wierd combination right, so I never try that.
Perhaps gnustep-make should try to detect those sorts of override and protect 
us from our own mistakes, but there's a limit to how far that can be taken and 
we should probably just trust that if people override cimpiler and flags 
specifications they know what they are doing.
