Well, I've been at it since 1:00pm (it's now 6:30pm). Appearantly special_prefix on works with gnustep-make, but not with any other package (-base, -gui and -back). I actually haven't gotten to -gui and -back yet since I've been trying to figure out how to do -base. Last time I got it to install to /tmp/gnustep-core but for some reason when I went to build -gui it exploded saying some function wasn't defined (a missing .h file). I'll keep trying it, but I think it would be really nice if $DESTDIR (or something) could be included on all the packages, not just -make.
