Sorry for answering late - I tried this out now, and I think it should
work - if you do

./configure CC=/opt/gcc/bin/gcc

when you configure gnustep-make, then 'CC = /opt/gcc/bin/gcc' gets written
in config.make, so whenever you do a 'make', that specific CC should
automatically be used.

make CC=gcc3 instead changes the CC to be gcc3 for that *particular* run
of make.

In practice, if you always do ./configure CC=gcc3 when you configure
packages, then you can then always and happily type 'make' and CC=gcc3
will be added automatically.
