Two things here:

1. If things aren't working for you, why are you disabling the test 
suite?  Remove the -DTESTS=OFF and run ctest (optionally -j {cores} if 
you want it to run nice and fast).  This will run a load of tests of 
your Objective-C configuration and report errors.

2. Why are you doing this *after* installing GNUstep Make?  GNUstep Make 
will search for your runtime and pick a sensible one.

P.S. I think you still need to patch -make to pass 
-fobjc-runtime=gnustep-2.0
