Perhaps your system has a version of gcc with a shared libobjc ... 
causing the version of NXConstantString
supplied by the library in the compiler to be used in preference to the 
GNUstep one.

Solutions -

You could locate that library and remove the NXConstantString 
implementation from it.

You could install the GNUstep libobjc and reconfigure/rebuild to use it.

You could install gcc-3.0 or later, and reconfigure/rebuild GNUstep to 
work with that.
