Not really, because then they're difficult to override on the command line.  
Ideally, we'd have gnustep-config able to provide the [OBJ]C[XX]FLAGS so that 
you could do things like:

$ gmake OBJCFLAGS="`gnustep-config --objc-flags` -fno-foo"

You'd also be able to do some more complex things in makefiles, detecting if 
the compiler is provided on the command line (and so should take precedence 
over your default), or is just the standard ObjC compiler for this system 
(which you may want to override if it doesn't support the features you need).
