GNUstep.sh doesn't know to include 
usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.0.1

in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and in fact, it can't, because some smarter 
distributions of gcc 3.0.x actually put libobjc.so in /usr/local/lib and 
symlink to the above path. I haven't figured out a test that's smart 
enough to figure this out, so for now you have to do it by hand 
(probably good to just add this to your /etc/ld.so.conf file.)
