It seems that linking goes airy during the test.

I get the same error, with gcc and clang on x86, gnustep-base-1.24.9-r1.
Will post the logs if needed.
Comment 5 Patrice Levesque 2016-12-01 23:08:39 UTC 
This case appears to be somehow related to bug #562060

FWIW, I have a similar bug where there is a segmentation fault in `as` and temporarily emerging =sys-devel/binutils-2.26.1 and `eselect`ing it makes the problem go away; I'm normally using the stable one, =sys-devel/binutils-2.25.1-r1

(In reply to Patrice Levesque from comment #5)
Brilliant, that worked indeed. Thanks!
Comment 7 Marc Schiffbauer gentoo-dev 2016-12-15 13:00:41 UTC 
For me, none of the suggested solutions worked.

What worked for me (and seems to be the correct solution):

after switching to another gcc (after using gcc-config) you MUST rebuild gnustep-base/gnustep-make

It even tells you that libobjc has changed and that you need to rebuild all gnustep packages afterwards.

So I think this bug can be closed as INVALID

New generation of gnustep tools, same problem.

After upgrade to =gnustep-base/gnustep-make-2.6.8 I get issues emerging =gnustep-base/gnustep-base-1.24.9-r1

configure:4419: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:4441: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=native -O2 -pipe -ggdb -ggdb3  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib conftest.c  >&5
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault (program as)

Once again, switching binutils like described in comment #5 works around the problem for me.
