As David explained, it only uses the GNUstep makefiles to build. I
usually install libobjc before gnustep-make on a clean system because
of a detail in how -make decides which libobjc programs should link
against. In order to do that without installing/uninstalling -make, I
exploit the fact that you don't actually have to install the makefiles
to use them. You can do something like this;

svn co http://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/tools/make/trunk gnustep-make-svn
cd gnustep-make-svn
./configure

cd /path/to/libobjc2
make install GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES="/absolute/path/to/gnustep-make-svn"
