Adam,

You've summarized in life in 5 little words - "It doesn't work that 
way."  That's a situation I keep slamming into :-(

That did the trick.  In my mk-gstep script, I put the following lines:

    GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_LIBS="$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/"
    GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_HEADERS="$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Headers/"
    tiff="--with-tiff-library=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_LIBS 
--with-tiff-include=$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_HEADERS"
    ./configure $tiff

It may be verbose, but the individual lines aren't too long and using 
multiple lines lets me see what's going on.

By the way, where is the standard location for libtiff?  Having built it 
with "./configure; make ; make install", I assumed it would be in the 
proper spot, but apparently not.

Cheers!

David
