With your inspiration, I got a big step forward. I am able to run "ink" 
now using Option 4) clang + libobjc2 "current".

I needed to

configure make [in Niels fork]:

./configure --prefix=/ --with-layout=gnustep 
--with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu --with-tar=/usr/local/bin/gtar 
LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=bfd

(we always have issues with BSD tar, so I just added it.. but what 
exactly does this bfd linker mean)

re-build cmake, after having sourced GNUstep.sh, using these options:

cmake .. -DBUILD_STATIC_LIBOBJC=On -DTESTS=Off


then reconfigure && reinstall make!


after this, building of the rest of gnustep as just plain configure&make 
install

the only two "big" differences are that

- I included that bfd linker option

- I did not specify for libobjc2

-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang
-DCMAKE_ASM_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_ASM_FLAGS=-c


as suggested in the INSTALL!
