I don't know. In any case installing the "core" packages will provide 
you with everything,it is easier just to update everything, taking care 
it will go to overwrite the same file.
That's why I suggest the prefix above. Then compile all core packages 
with --with-installation-domain=SYSTEM and install with
make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM install

Adam can tell you more,since he does the windows package.
