Follow-up Comment #1:

Well, I guess the INSTALL document could/should be improved, but when I read
it and followed it, it worked fine.  So the documentation (INSTALL file) does
tell you how to install the documentation (all the rest of it).

The problem with these installation attempts is that they ignore the all fail
to install gnustep-make (which is needed to build/install the documentation). 
If you actually install gnustep-make and *then* build/install the
documentation, everything appears to end up where it's expected.
The section omitted from the bug report as '[... lots of stuff snipped …]'
would have said that it was building a temporary/local copy of the
documentation (because gnustep-make hadn't been built/installed).

I think there was an issue that the INSTALL instructions merely told you what
to do in a particular order, and didn't explicitly say that you must do things
in that order (specifically, you have to configure and install gnustep-make in
order to build and install the documentation).  I fixed that.
