Instead of guessing I'd prefer you'd try with the shell snippets I
provided. They clearly expose unintended results in at least 3 cases.

Weird policy which prohibits to install documentation on its own. This
prohibits not only packaging, but also cross-compilation, because in
both cases is install root != system root.
That said, what you committed earlier today into README.packaging
doesn't work. It isn't sufficient to package gnustep-make, it also has
to be installed. Setting aside debian-type packaging doesn't build by
binary package, but by source package, which makes it impossible to
install a package not yet built, Documentation/GNUmakefile line 37ff
attempts to go such a route without packaging, but it's buggy and/or
incomplete. But I mentioned the latter already.
I have another ~15 bugs similar to this one stacked.
