Ok, well some additional work shows that the reason ld isn't finding the
main() in libgnustep-base.a is because my test program doesn't reference
anything within the gnustep-base object file where main is defined.  So ld
is not including that object file into the executable.  I discovered this
because when I compiled a program which did force inclusion of that object
file then the linking went fine and it found gnustep-base's main.

So maybe the real question is, what ld option to I pass to force it include
an object file?  Is there some way to tell ld that it should automatically
include all object files in a library?
