Thank you for the help, David.  Yes, I do indeed have the gcc runtime installed:

(ALSI8)dlobron@bos-lps80:/usr/lib/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.8$ ls libobjc*
libobjc.a  libobjc_gc.a  libobjc_gc.so  libobjc.so

Unfortunately, it's pre-installed on the machines where I have to do my build, 
and I can't remove it.  I will see if I can find a way to tell gnustep-base to 
use libobjc2 and ignore the gcc runtime.
