Maybe root just ignores the profiles. Plausible. If there's something terribly wrong with them which you need root to fix, you don't want root loading them.

On login, just . /etc/profile

gs_make(1)						       GNUstep System Manual							gs_make(1)

NAME
gs_make - wrapper for GNUstep Make. SYNOPSIS
gs_make [ make(1) options ] DESCRIPTION
gs_make is a very simple script which invokes make(1) with the environment variable $GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES set. It is useful for building GNUstep software without necessarily sourcing GNUstep.sh. OPTIONS
gs_make accepts all options of make(1). BUGS
Avoid using gs_make in makefiles' recipes, because it invokes the plain make command instead of $(MAKE), which is the appropriate variable for communicating options to sub-makes. SEE ALSO
GNUstep(7), make(1). AUTHORS
