making a distribution was something like:

I'll give that a try, since it seems a lot easier than what I'm doing! I kind of got confused with --install-root in the script, it looked like it foudn itself into some --prefix= options in the ./configure scripts, which is not what I wanted. Following some of the script, I got --install-root=/whatever, /whatever was then set to gs_install_prefix. Then, when building ffcall it sets --prefix=$gs_install_prefix$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, which is where I got confused about it's use. Either way, I'll give that a shot and see what happens.
OK, I guess this is something for your next release of startup... --install-root doesn't work! In a nut shell, every time source $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT $gs_install_prefix$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT needs to be sourced instead. Which actually turns up another problem, in /etc/GNUstep/GNUstep.conf $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT (and everything else) still reference /usr/GNUstep/System. So it looks like the only way to actually --install-root fully funcional would be to set all the variable by hand! Shouldn't be too hard but I'm going to wait until I can get the package built (which looks like it's only going to happen tomorrow) till I take another look at it. I can give it a shot at fixing it and maybe send you patch by Sunday or Monday, I'll let you know how it goes.
