Grr, I don't like those effects one can't reproduce. Are you sure you
start with a clean env, i.e. no GNUstep vars set before you start to
import the GNUstep env? I was bitten by this when I was looking for
differences between the csh and the sh version.

I'm currently trying to install the make package from a fresh checkout -
with very limited success:

So if I run configure with --prefix=/tmp, everything should end up under
/tmp, right?

What gives? I thought I configured /tmp? Ok, let's try configure with
more options:

DOH!

Bottom line: can't install the make package in a different location
other than /usr/local :-(

Ok, let's move away the existing /usr/local/GNUstep and have configure
have its will. Next, I created two accounts, one has bash as login
shell, the other has tcsh as login shell. Logged in, imported
GNUstep.[c]sh, compared the environments: same story

All this happens on a gentoo linux pc.
