Indeed you did. The problem is *not* an issue of the configure

OS whenever you start an application or tool. (You would have
noticed yourself if you had added a GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE
to your own GNUstep.conf). The function ExtractValuesFromConfig in
NSPathUtilities contains a sanity check, which reports any
nonstandard variable that is set in one of the configuration files
(and not listed in the GNUSTEP_EXTRA variable).
A quick workaround to get rid of the message is to add the line
GNUSTEP_EXTRA=GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE
to ~/.GNUstep.conf and the real fix is to add a line to discard the
GNUSTEP_FILESYSTEM_LAYOUT_FILE variable from the configuration
dictionary in ExtractValuesFromConfig.

PS Can you please revert the change to make the apple layout the
default on Darwin systems when using the gnu-gnu-gnu combo. On OS X
systems this configuration is supposed to coexist with the existing
Cocoa environment and the apple-apple-apple combo, so these should
clearly use separate layouts. I also guess that the problem of
fresh users attempting to install GNUstep from source on OS X is
not an issue here, since it won't work anyway unless you are really
experienced :-).
Thanks ... I've reverted a whole load of the changes.
NB. The net result is that temporarily you need to specify --with-
layout=gnustep to get the gnustep layout ... until we can work out a
good mechanism for setting a preference for the layout to use.
