I am installing gnustep-startup-0.18.2 and have found a potentially confusing message during the installation (script "InstallGNUstep"):

=========================
For security reasons, your make program will not pass LD_LIBRARY_PATH along. If you chose option 1 when running Startup, you'll probably need to start again and use 'sudo ./InstallGNUstep' or 'su root; ./InstallGNUstep'. You may need to compile/install applications when you are logged in as root, or use 'make LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH install'.
=========================

It is not clear what "option 1" is, since the only prompt shown to the user before this message was the following:

=========================
This script tries to build and install the core libraries for
GNUstep. Log files of the build process are kept so that if some
part of the build does not work, you can send the log files to
our attention (at bug-gnustep@gnu.org). From these we can try to
determine what the problem is.

Press the Return key to begin continue:
=========================

and I had therefore no chance to choose any "option 1". (P.S. I simply ignored the message and continued installing, so no problem! However, it would be nice to make that message clearer.)
