It sounds as if the configure script is not picking up the new runtime (and is 
picking up a libobjc from a gcc install).  Where did you install it?

On Ubuntu, we’ve had some issues here because the clang package depends on 
gcc-objc (for no good reason), which pulls in the gcc runtime.  Force 
uninstalling it helps.
