Well, the problem is that certain headers imply objective-c, so if you try
to include them in a file that ends in .c, it gives up, even though it's a
completely legitimate thing to do. So, you need to tell it to use the
"-x objective-c" flag to quiet it down.
For completeness, I'm trying to put together a Backend object that uses
CFRunLoop, which is a valid C API, but one or more of the headers that
it brings with it has Objective-C syntax in it.

That flag sounds like it would belong in either $OBJC or $OBJCFLAGS,
used to compile Objective-C code. $CC and $CFLAGS is for compiling C
code, not C++, Objective-C, or FORTRAN.
