Such a line in .profile or any other shell init file is asking for 
trouble, IMHO.

This will change your default compiler for any shell until you remove 
this line again. Any other source package ported to OS X would expect 
the apple distributed compiler but actually use your "special" 
compiler. Even Xcode might break with such a line.


A much better idea would be to set the compiler for just this one shell 
you compile your GNUstep package(s) in:

        export CC=<gcc install dir>/bin/gcc
        ./configure ...

or to pass it just to configure:

        CC=<gcc install dir>/bin/gcc ./configure ...


If this works any different from your above solution, you've hit a bug 
in GNUstep-make. Unless I've missed the intention of GNUstep-make, of 
course.


Cheers,
Markus
