I've seen this happend when linking libraries statically, but I don't
have any better solution. Another idea is to put some dummy function in
the framework, like

--- linking.m ----
#include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include "AppKit/AppKit.h"

void __objc_gui_linking(void)
{
  [GSFontInfo class];
}


And then make sure you call that function from your main program.
