some further information about this.

On FreeBSD 11.3 the "only" fix I need is to add this in libobjc2:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

 CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS           -lm

Is enough.

On FreeBSD 12 instead, the "-lm" hack is no longer needed (provided, as
Wolfgang says, that I start with a cleanbuild directory, regerration
doesn't wor, this was my culprit). So a clean start of everything now
allows to compile everything (no gold linker needed) but things do not
work then, I get a crash

Starting program: /Local/Tools/Ink
BFD:
/System/Library/Bundles/libgnustep-back-028.bundle/libgnustep-back-028:
version count (1588) does not match symbol count (2586)

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x000000080021846a in ?? () from /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
(gdb) bt
#0  0x000000080021846a in ?? () from /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
#1  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) quit

To solve this, I need to use ld.gold.

./configure --with-layout=gnustep --prefix=/
--with-library-combo=ng-gnu-gnu LD=/usr/local/bin/ld.gold
LDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld.gold

And then rebuild everything.

Interesting that this is needed ONLY on FreeBSD 12, not on FreeBSD 11
which works fine with the system linker|!
Curious, or not?
