Details:

All of the Base tools are being linked with a lot of libraries they don't
need:

gcc  -rdynamic     -shared-libgcc  -pthread -fexceptions -fgnu-runtime -o
obj/make_strings \
                ./obj/make_strings.obj/make_strings.m.o
./obj/make_strings.obj/SourceEntry.m.o ./obj/make_strings.obj/StringsEntry.m.o
./obj/make_strings.obj/StringsFile.m.o \
                  -L../../Source/./obj    
-L/home/yavor/GNUstep/Library/Libraries
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib   -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu  -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu    -lgnustep-base    -lobjc   -lavahi-common
-lavahi-client  -lgnutls   -lgcrypt -lxslt -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lffi   -lrt -ldl
 -lpthread -lz -licui18n -licuuc -licudata  -lavahi-common -lavahi-client 
-lgnutls   -lgcrypt -lxslt -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lffi   -lrt -ldl  -lpthread -lz
-licui18n -licuuc -licudata  -lm


This happens because CONFIG_SYSTEM_LIBS is defined in config.mak (as it
should; the Base library must link with all these libraries) and it
automatically applies for the tools -- their makefiles include config.mak. 
The attached patch fixes this.  Please note that this bug is independent to
Bug#42423, which is far more serious because the same thing happens to every
package that uses GNUstep Base.
