I would say that it's up  to the programmer to choose his compiler and
set up the  environment needed by this compiler. When  I don't use the
"standard"  compiler   on  a   system,  of  course   I  have   to  set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on my own.

What could  GNUstep.sh do when there  are three or  four gcc compilers
installed on the system?
