That's the same for lots of non-gnustep stuff too, but mostly non- 
gnustep stuff seems to avoid the problem.
I suspect that many packages have their installation scripts run  
ldconfig for you.
Perhaps gnustep-make could be enhanced to do that on systems where / 
etc/ld.so.conf and ldconfig are available?
