One of the GNUstep makefiles adds -fnext-runtime when the environment is determined to be apple, as does the configure script.

Which one(s)? Which makefile and configure script? :-)

But the gnustep core/base/configure scripts fails when I try to run it after installing objc2.  

Why is there no option for getting -fobjc-runtime=gnustep-1.7 added instead?  This appears to make the difference between the configure failing or working in my setup.  -fobjc-runtime=<something> has been supported by clang since version 3.2.  And how does this even work for anyone without this new option being supported?

If you need to add this manually, you could hack it together by editing files in /usr/local/GNUstep/Library/Makefiles -- pardon me if I got the path wrong. There is a "config" file, if my memory serves me well.

This is how I forced old Debian GNUstep packages from 2010 to use Debian's clang:

Under Debian the relevant file was:

    /usr/share/GNUstep/Makefiles/config.make
