I gave a bunch of commands which can be copy & pasted into a shell as-is.

I'm very well capable of reading your emails and did so, but none of
them gave a satisfying answer. This prerequisite you talk about is a
showstopper in some environments and does not solve the problem. If
having showstoppers is the intention, I feel sorry for GNUstep.

line 37ff = line 37 and the following lines.

It could, because at this point -make is actually configured, so the
installation location and layout is defined. But it ignores each of
--prefix, --with-layout and DESTDIR. That's what I'm talking about and
that's what the shell snippets demonstrate.

Please scratch that. Very apparently it's much easier to fix the bug
than to explain somebody with commit privileges that the bug is actually
a bug, so I'll do this next time (and keep the patch in the packaging
patch stack).
