Sorry, I omitted to mention that I used gnustep-make 2.0.6-15 downloaded from
koji and that I compiled for fedora 10 because of the lib64 issue.

I had a look at 2.0.8-2 from koji and noticed that the domain LOCAL has been
changed to "/usr". IMHO it should have been kept to "/usr/local" as the safe
default while SYSTEM should be used for installations under "/usr" as in
upstream gnustep-make. This new change to gnustep-make, means that end-users
compiling from tar balls are likely to run "make install" and overwrite the
distribution's files.
This sort of installation convention with a local default location and a
separate system location is found on other systems like perl-Make for example.

I would suggest using "GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM" for gnustep-base and
reverting the gnustep-make change.
