Sorry for the long silence, but I had to tackle a couple of problems. First I tried to switch to Darwin 1.3.1 which is out now for some days.
But that darn thing wouldn't boot, I fear my machine is to old. So I started over with Darwin 1.2.1 again.

Then I tried to get the source via cvs. Worked fine in Mac OS with MacCVS Pro 2.7d3 (Carbon) but some filenames where to long for Mac OS so this didn't work. After this I tried to get it via cvs from Darwin but this time something with the network went wrong (I am on a private subnet, I get my IP which is 172.16.16.2 from a DHCP Server and I could not get out with cvs neither to subversions.gnu.org nor 198.186.203.17 (which is its IP)). To cut the long story short: I decided to go with your daily snapshots from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/daily-snapshots.
The first snapshot I downloaded is core.20010420.tar.bz2.

Since I had to start from zero I am back to building gnustep-make.
./configure went fine, also make. But make install resulted in the following:

I can not explain this to myself since I was logged in as root the whole time. How can then a Permission denied occur?

Here is also the config.log of gnustep-make fyi. Don't wonder about gcc on Darwin, I have created a link gcc->cc (this works because Darwins cc is gcc.).

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

as always, I am very happy about your help. Lars
