Sorry for the terseness, it's just me expecting everyone to read my mind
again..

Actually I was referring to the location into which the Makefiles
directory gets installed to.
ie:
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles
vs.
/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Makefiles

Which would also have a direct impact from where GNUstep.sh should be
sourced from.

Cheers,
