The problem is that the configure scripts do not know about any variables set 
during the configuration of gnustep-make. This could be avoided by using 
something like CC=`gnustep-config --variable=CC` for the compiler programs. In 
fact, the configure script for gnustep-base already contains such code for some 
time. However, these assignments didn't make their way into other gnustep 
libraries or applications. In addition, this trick does not work for CFLAGS or 
LDFLAGS, since gnustep-config does not offer to return their values.
