Thanks a lot for this hint. This solved a problem I had for a long 
time. I knew the -f option of make. However, this works only for the 
root project. If you have an aggregate project and you use "make  -f 
makefile", makefile will be used for the aggregate but GNUmakefile will 
be used for all the subprojects. Bumah! This prevented me from 
compiling aggregate projects on MacOSX if GNUmakefiles (GNUstep) did 
exist in the subprojects. Having the above GNUmakefile in all project 
directories solves this problem.
