I'm a complete newbie to the GNUstep world. Do I need to be root to build?
Why?

No you don't. In fact, you should refrain from building stuff as root
and only assume the superuser role if you install into the Local or
System

David Chisnall:
GNUstep.sh needs to be sourced when building any GNUstep code. This
is documented in the GNUstep docs, but we probably need to document it
somewhere for Étoilé too. This file sets a number of environment
variables that are required by GNUstep Make.
So instead of simply gmake
Niels Grewe:
This is rather odd. On my setup (GNU/Linux) install takes '-c -p -m
644'
as arguments, so it doesn't do any chowning/chgrping. If you build
with 'gmake messages=yes' you will see what commands gnustep-make is
issuing during the built. These could be useful for debugging this.
