No problem, it gave me chance to gain some understanding of the make system!

I guess it could be, but somehow seems a bit dangerous... But hey the 
system offers a way to handle it in those cases.

Actually in this case I'll use:

ifneq ($(GNUSTEP_INSTANCE),)
GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR := $(GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR)/$(GNUSTEP_INSTANCE)
endif

Thanks a lot!
