Is HAVE_OBJC_MALLOC defined in the file `swarmconfig.h' in the
toplevel build directory?  Do you get this:

address@hidden/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66] $ nm libobjc.a | grep 
objc_malloc | grep -v ' U '
00000004 D _objc_malloc
000000d0 T objc_malloc

..both from your /usr and /usr/local gcc installs?

I'm not sure, but I wonder if you are inadvertently using your
/usr/bin/gcc instead of your /usr/local/bin/gcc.  To be sure that the
configure tests and the build use the same compiler, I usually specify
the full path explicitly like this:
   
   CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc ./configure [etc]

(Am I right in thinking that you are using a custom GCC install because
of difficulty locating SuSE RPMs with Objective C support?)

P.S. Swarm 1.4.1 requires Tcl/Tk 8.0 or greater
