How to fix OALAudio Library for XCode 6 / Kobold2D (Linker Error)

Question

trying to update a Kobold2D/Cocos2d 2.1 project for iOS 8.1/XCode 6 on Yosemite.

After using the solution provided here (How to update Kobold2D 2.1 project to MacOS10.10 / XCode 6.1?), I get a linker error that, despite all attempts (restarting, cleaning, deleting and adding frameworks) persists, and makes my project unstartable. I'm at my wit's end; this is a 3 year project, and I'm hitting a brick wall... The XCode 6.1 linker error reads as such:

Undefined symbols for architecture i386:
  "___isnan", referenced from:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture i386
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

PLEASE pretty please: Does anybody have an idea? I might not understand enough about the possible cause here to proceed on my own. FWIW, libobjectal-ios.a has been removed and re-added to the project repeatedly, to no avail.

Thanks to @LearnCocos2D' (Steffen's) response, I figured out how to fix this:

-Go into Kobold2D-Libraries >> ObjectAL >> ObjectAL >> Actions >> OALAudioActions.m

-In the source code of OALAudioAuctions.m, replace the 3 occurrences of "isnan" with "thisisnan" (There are 3 occurrences, OALGainAction, OALPitchAction and OALPanAction, in prepareWithTarget respectively)

-Then insert the following block at the top after Line 32:

#pragma mark x64 compatibility
#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
#define thisisnan(x)                                                  \
( x != x ? true : false)
#else
#define thisisnan(x)                                                  \
(isnan(x))
#endif
