That's how *nix software works. You simply can't do that.

You can:
a) set the permissions on your original user's ~/garnome directory so that
other users can use it. On most systems, this will already be the case, so
just have the second users start GNOME from there.
b) if you're worried about permissions, rebuild into /usr/local/garnome
and make sure the permissions allow everyone to run/read it (should be
fine by default).
c) rebuild GARNOME for every user. This is mind-blowingly stupid, please
don't do it.
