As long as this is ony on your Solaris system, it's hard to see how to address 
it (unless you can provide a fix).
Is it a regression, or a long term problem?

I think your fix looks fine, and for the case where an environment variable is 
used explicitly, I think a warning is sufficient (I'm a power user and am OK 
with the error; since it only takes 30 seconds to reconfigure/reinstall 
gnustep-make for a new compiler, but if it really bugs someone else then I 
don't mind it being a warnign instead).

I'm not familiar with that one ... will try to take a look at it today.

I'll definitely get that into base.
