>Description:
Applications that using gnustep-make(?) can`t be build as an unprivileged user.


Here`s an example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
===> Building for gworkspace-0.7.1nb4
Making all in FSNode...
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/lfs/sysutils/gworkspace/work/GWorkspace-0.7.1/FSNode'
Making build-headers for framework FSNode...
 Creating FSNode.framework/Versions/A/Headers...
install: FSNode.framework/Versions/A/Headers/FSNode.h: chown/chgrp: Operation not permitted
gmake[2]: *** [FSNode.framework/Versions/A/Headers/FSNode.h] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [FSNode.build-headers.framework.variables] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/lfs/sysutils/gworkspace/work/GWorkspace-0.7.1/FSNode'
gmake: *** [internal-all] Error 2
*** Error code 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------

It wants to chown a file during build, which is not allowed to do as a regular user.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply try to build it as non-root from pkgsrc.
>Fix:
You have to build it as root. If you dont have root privileges on the machine, you may build it elswhere in chroot, or get the binary pkgs if they exist for your platform.
