This sounds like you are generating code for the GNU runtime.  __objc_exec_class() is the GNU Objective-C function that loads the Objective-C data within a compilation unit.  To emit code that invokes Apple runtime, instead of GNU runtime, functions you will need to specify -fnext-runtime.  This is not the default on any platform other than Darwin because the Apple runtime is not supported on any other platforms (although Apple uses it on Windows, and it may possibly work for you too).
