Only one: user_home. Host native version will work fine. Just make sure 
you don't have a ~/GNUstep.sh to confuse things.

One way to ensure things are clean is to do your cross-compiling as a 
specific user with the environment set up for it.

user_home and which_lib should work fine by using the host native 
versions. Just move the target versions away and copy in the host ones.

Neither do very target or host specific things at the moment.
